format function and masks

[nnzz]

Hello, I've got the next problem:

I read double numbers from a file, then format the to scientific notation using the format function in this way:

format(number, mask)

mask is:
&quot;0.00···0&quot; if Len(number) < X
or
&quot;0.00···E00&quot; if Len(number) > X

The thing is, in my computer everything is ok, but in all other computers I try, when Len(number)< X, i.e. mask is &quot;0.00···0&quot;, I obtain a different scale for the number,

for example:
In my PC, Format(&quot;0.123&quot;, &quot;0.000000&quot -> 0.123000
In another PC, Format(&quot;0.123&quot;, &quot;0.000000) -> 1.230000

What is happening? Why Format() behaves different in differetn PC's?

Thamk you.
