RE: format() Causes Crash, and limited to below 100?

If the numeric input (first argument) is large (e.g. 1.23E24) then the second argument of format() can be up to "f99" without any problem. (Its parser rejects anything longer than 2 digits). But if the first argument is small (e.g. 1.23E-24) then it crashes. That's clearly unintended by HP, but it's not strictly speaking a bug, because the documentation nowhere explains the limits of the second parameter. Strange results can be obtained from random second arguments, such as "f2x". That's also not strictly a bug, since the documentation doesn't mention that either. <0|ΙΈ|0> -Joe- |
