character 'E' as expontial

Is there a way to tell Foxpro NOT to process the character 'E" as
expontial when using the VAL() function?

?VAL('1E465') && this cause error - numeric overflow

I would like the above to return the value 1. I know I can program
around this but is there an 'environment' setting perhaps?
