PRECISION num FOR OBJECT

By default, an object will inherit the default system precision (normally 2, but based on the 'PD' system parameter).

By indicating PRECISION num FOR OBJECT within a DEF CLASS .. END DEF block, you can set predefined precision for all subsequent method invocations within the current object instance. However, an object's precision may be overridden within method logic where it specifically declares a PRECISION to use (preserving encapsulation).
