Is it possible to change the number of places after dec.point IN A PROGRAM? - veeblefester - 01-15-2014 11:19 PM

Nothing in HP's documentation except for a couple of examples in some built in Apps. These do not work in custom code.

It is easily accomplished in HP 50g.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can change the number of digits displayed by assigning a new value to the Home variable "HDigits". This works as long as you are not in Standard mode. You might also want to look at the "HFormat" Home variable.

Thanks Mark.

I was wrong. It is in the documentation.

It does what I need.
