Failed to set Embedded Variable Format Specifier value

Problem attempting to specify the format of an embedded variable. The error message indicates one of these conditions:
Failed to set Fixed Width value
Allowable range is 1 to 255.
When specifying a Fixed Width string variable, the number of characters must fall in the range of 1...255.
Failed to set Number of Digits value
Immediate value out of range.
Allowable range is 1 to 25.
The Number of Digits entered is out of range. For any type of integer data, the allowable range for Number of Digits is 1...25.
Failed to set Number of Digits value
Decimal Places value must be less than 8 and at least two less than the Number of Digits value.
Allowable range for Number of Digits is 2 to 25.
The Number of Digits entered is out of range. For floating point data, the allowable range for Number of Digits is 2...25.
Failed to set Decimal Places value
Decimal Places value must be less than 8 and at least two less than the Number of Digits value.
Allowable range for Decimal Places is 0 and (Number of Digits - 2, maximum of 8).
  • Entered an invalid number of decimal places.
    Decimal places are used to specify the number of digits of the mantissa of a floating point number. Due to the amount of precision the floating point number can keep, the valid range for decimal places is 0...8. To present the floating point number in a readable format, the Decimal Places value must be at least 2 less than Number of Digits so that 0.1234 displays as 0.1234 instead of .1234.
  • Enter a valid Decimal Places value in the range of 0 and (Number of Digits - 2, maximum of 8).
