⎕FC - Format Control

Z←⎕FC returns the current value of the Format Control vector.
Z is a character vector whose elements each control a separate aspect of how numeric output is formatted by the system.


⎕FC←R sets all of the values of the Format Control Vector to R.
⎕FC←⍬ sets all of the values of the Format Control vector to their system default state.
⎕FC[L]←R sets the value(s) of the Format Control vector indexed by L to R.


The first seven elements of ⎕FC control the raw output of numeric display as well as the monadic and dyadic forms of the Format function ().

Index Name Default
Value
[1] Decimal Point Separator '.'
[2] Thousands Separator ','
[3] Format-by-example '8' Fill '*'
[4] Format-by-example Overflow fill '0'
[5] Blank Fill (not ",.0123456789") '_'
[6] Negative Sign '¯'
[7] Complex Number Display Separator (only "iJdhru") 'J'

For example,

      f←{⎕FC[1⊃⍺]←2⊃⍺ ⋄ ⍕⍵}
      (1 6) ':-' f ¯23.2
-23:2
      (1 6 7) ':-d' f ¯23.2i0
23:2ad180:0
      7 'i' f ¯2i3
¯2i3
      7 'J' f ¯2i3
¯2J3
      7 'd' f ¯2i3
3.605551275ad123.7
      7 'h' f ¯2i3
3.605551275ah0.3436
      7 'r' f ¯2i3
3.605551275ar2.159
      7 'u' f ¯2i3
3.605551275au0.3436

At the moment because Format-By-Example (L⍕R for Character Vector L) is not implemented in NARS2000, ⎕FC[3] is not referenced.

Because the system function ⎕FMT has its own Symbol Substitution mechanism, it is not sensitive to the settings in ⎕FC.
