Controls the floating-point format that is to be used when reading a floating-point number that has no <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#exponent_marker"><I>exponent marker</I></A> or that has <TT>e</TT> or <TT>E</TT> for an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#exponent_marker"><I>exponent marker</I></A>. Other <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#exponent_marker"><I>exponent markers</I></A> explicitly prescribe the floating-point format to be used. <P>
The printer uses <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#STread-default-float-formatST"><B>*read-default-float-format*</B></A> to guide the choice of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_e.htm#exponent_marker"><I>exponent markers</I></A> when printing floating-point numbers. <P>
