The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If the value is negative, the sign is output as a prefix. If the
absolute value is so large that the output needs more characters than
the default output length, the system automatically switches to
scientific notation. This does not involve rounding. This output style
is the default.
