Can't make format() work - toml_12953 - 02-19-2017 10:17 PM
In examples I've seen
format(9.3456,"s3")
should show 9.35 in algebraic mode but All I get is syntax error. Since format is in lower case, I also tried
CAS.format(9.3456,"s3")
with the same result. How do you use the format function? Also, how do I set fixed decimal mode from an HPPL program?

It needs CAS(format(9.3456,"s3")), not CAS.format.
Just checked and its still OK on the new release on Android.
