Dear Maintainer,
I observe this:
$ echo 8.746 | gawk '{$1+='463405.85';print $0}'
463415
This one round the result to six significant digits, as teh default output
format is "%.6g". To
change this for 'print' , one should change OFMT, like this:
$ echo 8.746 | gawk 'BEGIN{OFMT="%.12g"}{$1+='463405.85';print $0}'
463415
But this has no effect. This is a bug. TO get the right effect, one has to
change CONVFMT,
like this:
$ echo 8.746 | gawk 'BEGIN{CONVFMT="%.12g"}{$1+='463405.85';print $0}'
463414.596
