HELP POP_PR_PLACES                                         John Gibson, Feb 85

    <integer> -> pop_pr_places;

The variable POP_PR_PLACES specifies the number of fractional places to which
floating-point numbers (i.e. decimals and ddecimals) are printed by the
standard printing procedure *SYS_SYSPR; rounding is done to this specified
number of places.

The value of POP_PR_PLACES can be set to any integer greater than or equal to
0. The default value is 6.

    0 -> pop_pr_places;

causes numbers to be printed as integers.

Note: if the value of POP_PR_PLACES is greater than 0, SYS_SYSPR will always
print at least one fractional digit; after this, trailing zeroes are
suppressed.
