Because you're starting out with the value in that variable. You're not multiplying something else by it.

Please see the section of the manual devoted to register arithmetic.

Reading the initial question and answers, I going back to basics, just in case.

If the number of digits of the result is greater than the maximum of the digit the calculator can handle, the calculator will keep the most significant digits and will adjust the exponent to keep the number valid, when that happen you have no choice but to deal with the E.

In your case, if you do [SHIFT] [DISP] [ALL] and the value in X still have E in it, then this is what the calculator has internally, removing the exponent will render the number invalid.

Yes I understand that but why if I am doing a program that Doing l*h*w=v and I input l=5 h=5 w=5 that I not getting 125

As explained previously your program is not correct and will not return 125. Try with the program example from the HP-42S manual that was quoted by Steve Simpkin.

I correct it now I got the good answer

Thanks for your help
I am not use with the 42 but more with the prime or the ti 84 plus

RE: How I can change the format of unit one DM42/Free42
Code:
formula → Length * Width * Height = Volume
f(x)=0  → ( Length * Width * Height ) — Volume = 0

Analysis of your program: (not working)
Code:
01▸LBL "VOL"   // Volume calculation program
02 MVAR "V"    // Volume
03 MVAR "W"    // Width
04 MVAR "L"    // Length
05 MVAR "H"    // Height
06 STO "W"     // overwriting W with X content, whatever it is
07 STO "L"     // overwriting L with X content, whatever it is
08 STO "H"     // overwriting H with X content, whatever it is
09 RCL "L"     // X = Length (unknown value)
10 RCL "H"     // X = Height (unknown value) & Y = Length (unknown value)
11 ×           // X = X * Y  (unknown value)
12 RCL× "W"    // X = X * Width (unknown value)
13 STO "V"     // overwriting V with X content, whatever it is
14 RCL "V"     // X = Volume (unknown value)
15 END         // end of the program

Analysis of the user's manual program: (working)
Code:
01▸LBL "VOL"   // Volume calculation program
02 MVAR "L"    // Length
03 MVAR "W"    // Width
04 MVAR "H"    // Height
05 MVAR "V"    // Volume
06 RCL "L"     // X =     Length    // X =   Length
07 RCL* "W"    // X = X * Width     // X =   Length * Width
08 RCL* "H"    // X = X * Height    // X =   Length * Width * Height
09 RCL- "V"    // X = X - Volume    // X = ( Length * Width * Height ) - Volume
10 END         // end of the program

Solving: [yellow-key] [SOLVER] [VOL] 5 [L] 5 [W] 5 [H] [V] → 125

RE: How I can change the format of unit one DM42/Free42
Thanks I found my error on my code

My new code is

00 { 32-Byte Prgm }
01▸LBL "VOL"
02 MVAR "V"
03 MVAR "W"
04 MVAR "L"
05 MVAR "H"
06 RCL "W"
07 RCL× "L"
08 RCL× "H"
09 RCL "V"
10 -
11 END

So

00 { 31-Byte Prgm }
01▸LBL "VOL"
02 MVAR "V"
03 MVAR "W"
04 MVAR "L"
05 MVAR "H"
06 RCL "W"
07 RCL× "L"
08 RCL× "H"
09 RCL- "V"
10 END
