<p>This behavior (swith to "e") is logical. For example, with
format("v",10), which is the default, 123456789 cannot be
displayed in "v" mode with 10 characters. Hence, the only solution
is to switch to "e" mode:</p>
<p>--> format("v",10)<br>
<br>
--> 123456789<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
1.235D+08</p>
<p>Of course, you cannot use less than 7 characters (3 chars for the
signed mantissa and the dot and 4 chars for the exponent):</p>
<p>--> format("v",8)<br>
<br>
--> 123456789<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
1.2D+08<br>
<br>
<br>
--> format("v",7)<br>
<br>
--> 123456789<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
1.D+08<br>
<br>
<br>
--> format("v",6)<br>
<br>
--> 123456789<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
1.D+08<br>

<div>Scilab 6.0.1 does it as follows:</div>

<div> 1.0 D+02</div>

<div>The display of Scilab 5.5.2 does not respect the format

dot)</div>

<p>As MacOSX, Linux is not affected, this will help to solve this
bug:</p>

<p>Are you in "v" format? This result looks like to be in "e" one,
and anyway it does not comply with the required width.<br>
On win7 with 5.5.2 we get in "v" format:<br>
<tt>-->format(4); u=123.456</tt><br>
<tt> u =</tt><br>
<tt> 123. </tt><br>
=> it does not switch to "e" format.<br>
