FUZZBITS Subcommand (SET command)
FUZZBITS specifies the default setting of the fuzzbits argument for the RND and TRUNC functions. The value controls the
number of least-significant bits by which the internal representation
of the value to be rounded or truncated (expressed as a 64-bit floating
point binary) may fall short of the nearest rounding boundary and
be rounded up. See the topic Arithmetic functions for more information.
- The value must be an integer between 0 and 20. The default is 6, which should be sufficient for most applications.
- A value of 0 produces the same results as in release 10. A value of 10 produces the same results as in releases 11 and 12.
- The
FUZZBITSsetting persists across sessions.
