Or, you can see the value of a specific variable: TYPE {%xx}

The VLIST command and the "View" button show the value of numeric variables out to 4 decimal places. The default for PRINT or TYPE statements will show the value with two decimal places when you do not specify a formatoverride.

For example, if %xx contains the value 12.1234567

type {%xx} -uses the default format of (9.2) so displays 12.12
type {%xx(9.3)} -displays 12.123
type {%xx(9.5)} -displays 12.12346 (note the rounding)
type {%xx(9.7)} -displays 12.1234567

and VLIST will display 12.1235 (note the rounding)

When you use the "view" button the display is in a separate window. In this display all the string variables are delimited with a little x. The "x" is not part of the content of the variable, it is showing you where the variable ends so that you will know when your variable has low-order spaces in it. For example, if the little x is right after the final visible character you know that there are no low-order spaces in the content of your variable, but if you see some white space before you see the x you will know that there is trailing spaces.
