The [Scientific] tag formats a number according to the preferences of a specific region or country. By default it formats scientific notation according to the United States standard.
The tag requires three parameters. The first should be a decimal value. The second should be a language code and the third should be a country or region code. See the [Locale_Format] tag for a list of country and region codes.
[Scientific: Numeric Value]
[Scientific: Numeric Value, Language Code, Country Code]
| Required Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Language Code | The language code for the desired formatting. |
| Country Code | The country code for the desired formatting. |
| Decimal Value | The decimal value to be formatted. |
Note: The separate parameters for language and country code were introduced in Lasso Professional 7.0.2. In prior versions the language and country code could be specified as a name/value pair [Scientific: 1.00, 'LC'='CC']. This alternate method is still supported in Lasso Professional 7.0.2.
See the Lasso 8 Language Guide for examples of how to use this tag.
