Data precision in a file created with APPENDPRN

[JTmathcad-disab]

Hi,

Could any one there help? I used APPENDPRN to write data in a file in a progremm. The data in Mathcad 14 have 7 decimal digits. But the file always stores just 3 decimal digits. What should I do to get it right?

Thanks.

From mathcad help:

-----------------
Controlling How Data is Written
Significant digits:

By default, WRITEPRN writes 4 significant digits to disk. You can change this by changing the value of PRNPRECISION. To do so, choose Worksheet Options from the Tools menu and go to the Built-in Variables tab.

Column width:

By default, WRITEPRN writes data in columns that are 8 digits wide. You can change this by changing the value of PRNCOLWIDTH. To do so, choose Worksheet Options from the Tools menu and go to the Built-in Variables tab.
-----------------

Also with colon equal you can set those values in the worksheet, like TOL value.

Regards. Alvaro.

The "machine precision" of the Pentium is 16.
Set PRN precision in the work sheet option,
as explained above by Alvaro.
