Scientific Notation Formats
You can include one of the following exponent strings in the format argument to format a number in scientific notation:
E-
E +
e-
e +
Siebel VB displays this notation in the following ways:
An uppercase e. An uppercase e displays in the output.
A lowercase e. A lowercase e displays in the output.
A minus sign that follows an uppercase e. A minus sign precedes any negative exponent that displays in the output.
A plus sign. A sign always precedes the exponent in the output.
You precede the exponent string with one or more digit characters. The number of digit characters that following the exponent string determines the number of exponent digits that occur in the output.
The following table includes examples of using exponential notation.
