number entered, it is automatically extended. If the specified number of
digits is larger than the number to be engraved, the output format is
automatically filled with the appropriate number of leading and trailing
zeroes.
You can optionally use blanks to format before the decimal place.
Instead of _VAR_NUM you can use any other numeric variable (e.g.
R0).
