FLOAT

The FLOAT data type is an approximate signed numeric data type with a mantissa of precision seven. Precision refers to the total number of digits in the mantissa, both left and right of the decimal point. The FLOAT data type uses 4 bytes of storage and has a valid input range of 3.402823466E38 to -3.402823466E38. The smallest valid input values are 1.175494351E-38 and -1.175494351E-38. If you attempt to move a value larger than the allowed maximum from a data type such as DOUBLE, DBMaker displays a conversion error and does not move the data.

e.g. 3.583837E34
  -2.746619E27
