Output Format Rounding

Hi,

I've recently upgraded my project from vs2010 with Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 to vs2012 with Visual Fortran Composer XE 2013. I use the following format statement to output some data (example data: -4.48e-054):

FORMAT(2X,F6.2)

When used previously it would round very small numbers to 0.00. Now when I run the same program it outputs -0.00. 

Any idea if there's a project setting or something I need to change so that the sign is discarded? I may well have inadvertently changed a setting during the upgrade.

Thanks for any help.

Your very small numbers are negative, so the standard requires that the sign be there and we weren't doing it correctly - we fixed a bug.
