Dear Paul,

this is the first time I am able to give totally the same answer
to someone in this newsgroup at the same day. Don't you read others
articles?

we have some routines which returns the format code of a value

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/find_form.tar.gz

; EXAMPLE:
; numbers=[100,2.1345,1000.]
; print,find_form(numbers)
; F10.4
; print,find_form(numbers,/reduce_accuracy)
; F10.2
; print,find_form(-40010138.D)
; I9
; print,find_form(-40010138.D,/force)
; F10.0

For further routines and licensing please have a look at
