Remarks
FloatFormat() is used to format floating point numbers. Note that FloatFormat() affects only the display format of numbers and not the actual numeric precision of calculations.
Examples
These examples use FloatFormat() to display the same number using three different formats. Note the number of leading spaces in each result:
X#
1? FloatFormat(1234.546, 12,2)        //  1234.54
2? FloatFormat(1234.546, -1,4)        //  1234.5460
3? Floatformat(1234.546, 12,-1)        //  1234.546
