In Maple, the number of Digits can be controlled with th command Digits but looks like there is no difference between Numerical and Symbolic calculations. If I use kernelopts(maxdigits); my computer says 268435448 and I understand that Maple will use this number of digits for symbolic calculations but what about numerical calculations ?

Look at ? Digits
? evalf/details
Try evalf(Pi,100);
