Yes, it's not what 'people expect'. This is why I argued (back in 1981) that there should be a minimum value for NUMERIC DIGITS, perhaps 6 or possibly 5. But it was hard to deny that that was an arbitrary limit, whereas 1 was a 'hard' limit. Mike
I do understand say 1005*1 - 1004*1 -- 10 both operands are evaluated to 3 digits and 1.01e3 - 1e3 -> 10 So there is a bit of surprise
