James Cloos psoted a nice utility "RCLND" that recalls the number of
currently set display digits.

Internal RPL programmers may be interested to note that there is an
entry point that does ALMOST the same thing.  #5A983h SYSEVAL returns
a System Binary corresponding to the number of display digits, exacept
for two oddities: (1) it's BCD (so FIX 10 returns 10h, and FIX 11
returns 11h); and (2) STD mode always returns 11h, regardless of the
"ghost" value of the display digits flags.

It works on my E version 48SX; it should work on your 48 too.
