VDouble.GetString return formatted string 15 char long

[Bart Pietercil]

Hi,

that would be precision and scale

approximate_numeric_type
    :    FLOAT  [ ( precision [, scale ] ) ] 
    |    DOUBLE [ ( precision [, scale ] ) ]

However no more explanation is to be found . An explanation (maybe with an example) would come in handy.

tia,
