cool - nice observation, close but no cigar, unluckily

SQL> set numformat  999999999999999999.999999
SQL>  select * from toto;

                       NUM
--------------------------
                   .000000
                  -.000000

might as well go for it (despite the 18,5 format)
SQL>  set numformat 9.999999999999999999999999999999999999
SQL> /

                                    NUM
---------------------------------------
  .000000000000000000000000000000000000
 -.000000000000000000000000000000000000

SQL> select dump (num) from toto;

DUMP(NUM)
------------------------------------
Typ=2 Len=1: 128
Typ=2 Len=2: 63,102
