Format returned value of volume

[dtrosty]

In eSignal 11.7, I wrote a simple .efs to detect a local maximum and minimum of an ema of on-balance volume by examining the last three bar's OBV. The efs also returns the value of OBV and its ema. The system, eSignal 11.7, is set to Abbreviated volume in the Formatting tab. However, THIS .IFS returns the volume as a whole number. Not only is it difficult to read a long string of digits, the area occupied by the scale on the chart is disproportionately wide and reduces the area available for the chart itself.

How can I covert the returned value from the .efs to an abbreviated format within the .efs code?

Thank you

You do not need to modify the code to accomplish that. In Edit Chart set the Format of the study to Volume and in the Application Properties set the Volume to Abbreviated
