Displaying floating point values with user specified decimal places? [message #43288]

How do I control how a system works with decimal places for floating point
values? For instance, I did a few fltarr assigns which end up displaying
(via print,array) a longish floating point value without the decimals which
I know are there (e.g. 657456. vs the "true" value of 657456.25), or in
scientific number format -- when I go to use, for instance, Dave Fannings
write_csv_data.pro, it writes the array out in the same format that
print,array spits out. How do I control this decimal display format?
