The variable number format is working
correctly. It has been assumed that it is better to display the
number in the wrong format that to throw the data away. In these
cases Citect will always display numbers bigger than the maximum
display format. If Citect had to display the number 1234 in the
format ## you would only see 34 which may confuse the operator when
the number is bigger than what you expected.
If you really only want to see the last two digits of a number
then use the MOD operator to remove the top digits of the number.
For example TAG MOD 100 : ##.## will display 34.00
if TAG has the value 1234.
