It's documented with the other environment variables in Appendix C. There is a new extended formatting capability added with the 4.1 release which allows more control over number formatting, and it supports all of the numeric data types. The DBFORMAT environment variable is the controlling entity. See page S-186 of the 4.1 4GL Reference Supplement for details.
