ABENFORMAT_EXPONENT - FORMAT EXPONENT

exp expects a data object of the type i that contains the required exponent.

• In data type f, the mantissa is adjusted to this exponent by moving the decimal separator and padding with zeros. If exp contains 0, no exponent is created. If the value of exp is greater than the exponent of the source field plus 16, only zeros are assigned to the mantissa. If the value of exp is less than the exponent of the source field, and the output length is not sufficient for the places required in front of the decimal separator, the addition is ignored. If the value in exp is positive and has more than three digits, only the first three places of the exponent are considered.

• If the formatting option STYLE is also specified, source fields of all numeric types (b, s), i, int8, p, f, decfloat16, and decfloat34 are converted to decfloat34 before formatting. For STYLE, only the scientific notation O_SCIENTIFIC can be declared together with EXPONENT. The addition EXPONENT defines the exponent for this notation.
