ScientificNotation

Allow lowercase “e” as scientific notation symbol instance-wide.

Synopsis

[Miscellaneous]    ScientificNotation=n

n is either 1 (true) or 0 (false). The default value is 1.

Description

Important:

This parameter has been retained for compatibility, but should not be used when building new applications.

When ScientificNotation is enabled (n = 1), InterSystems IRIS® data platform uses the lowercase “e” as scientific notation symbol instance-wide.

Changing This Parameter

On the Compatibility page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > Additional Settings > Compatibility), in the ScientificNotation row, click Edit. Select ScientificNotation to enable this setting.

Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change ScientificNotation in the Config.MiscellanousOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference) or by editing the CPF with a text editor.

To change this parameter for a single process only (as opposed to instance-wide), use the ScientificNotation()Opens in a new tab method of the %SYSTEM.ProcessOpens in a new tab class. See the class reference for details.
