Siebel eScript Language Reference > Methods Reference > Conversion Methods > Convert Number to Exponential Notation MethodThe Convert Number to Exponential Notation method converts a number to exponential notation. It returns the number that the numberVar variable contains, expressed in exponential notation to the number of decimal places that you specify in the len argument. FormatTable 88 describes the arguments for the Convert Number to Exponential Notation method.
How the Convert Number to Exponential Notation Method Handles the Len ArgumentThe Convert Number to Exponential Notation method does one of the following depending on one of the following values that the len argument contains:
Using a Multivalue List to Avoid Unexpected RoundingIf you must use a value that exceeds 253, then it is recommended that you use a calculated field that uses the sum of a multivalue list instead of using Siebel eScript. If Siebel CRM performs an operation that results in a value that exceeds 253, then it rounds this value to 253. The largest number that the Siebel eScript engine can hold is 253. This number is equivalent to the following values: ExampleThe following example uses the Convert Number to Exponential Notation method: var num = 1234.567 var smallnum = 0.0001234 |
