DIC.Format_Numeric
Format delimited Fields in a Line in the same way like with FMT.
Intention
Assume you a line containing some Floating-Point Numbers. Now if you convert them to TAB-separated Text, they may be badly formatted if they do not have an equal length.
Use this Command to format specified Numeric Data in a line.
VAR.$$LIN=2022/07/19$tab$03:44:06$tab$-32.4$tab$-12.0$tab$-12.0$tab$-17.7$tab$36.7$tab$377
VAR.$$DEL=$tab$
VAR.$$IND=4,5,6,7
' For more Options see FMT.-Command
VAR.$$FMT=00.00
' Now we call the command
DIC.Format_Numeric|$$LIN|$$DEL|$$IND|$$FMT|$$RES
' And Debug-Print the Result 27
