Here is another example inspired by Jean, it can handle very small numbers
too,

For floating point numbers greater than 10 the proposed truncation method
will not reduce the number of carried decimal places to 6, which is what I
understand you want. You need first to divide |z| by factors of 10 until its
less than 10, then truncate, then multiply back by the factors of 10 that
you divided by. Try the attached.

Sven,
I tried your method and thought it might work if I truncated the result of
every piece of the whole function. But I found it will not work for
floating point complex numbers. Any ideas? See attached file.
