Default Display of Real Values

The display of real values in Reporting is controlled by the PRECISION command via the PDMS Command Line. This command enables the user to specify the number of decimal places for the displayed values of dimensions. Running reports in batch may give different results if these formats have not been created in TTY mode. So in batch these can be initialized as follows in a macro

!!comDefineGlobal(object COMFORMATS())

In addition to this, real unit qualified values may be formatted using the FormatDouble function. See Add Calculated Fields to a Report. for further information refer to Design Reference - General Commands, Setting Output Precision of Distance Units and Switching between Actual and Nominal Bores.
