Tracy,
This is the code from the KB article I mentioned earlier. Note, that changing the setting of SET DECIMALS does actually impact the results. Note also, that the output statement no longer applies
CLEAR
cCompatible = SET("COMPATIBLE")
SET COMPATIBLE OFF
? "Precision automatically jumps to 15 decimal places "
? "with overflows displayed at 1.6"
FOR i = 1 TO 3 STEP .1
? TRANSFORM(i)
ENDFOR
SET COMPATIBLE &cCompatible
