The format statement is wrong. The first '10' means use
10 digits (including decimal point), but the second '10'
means I wnat 10 digits after the decimal point. However,
as you've only reserved 10 spaces for use, you can't
print the "1." and so it prints "*******" to show an
error.

Try G10.8 or G12.10 and it should work ok.
