SMALL Subcommand (SET command)

The SMALL subcommand controls the display of numbers in scientific notation in pivot tables for small decimal values.

This setting only affects output with the "general" format, which is determined by the application. This setting does not affect the display of significance levels or other statistics with a standard range of values. The format of many numeric values in pivot tables is based on the format of the variable associated with the numeric value.

Example

SET SMALL = 0.

SET SMALL = .001.
  • The first SET SMALL command suppresses the display of scientific notation in all output that uses the general format.
  • The second SET SMALL command will only display scientific notation for values that are less than 0.001.
