Trivial would be good :)
Yes, only dollars; this is for us bankruptcy filings, so it has no extra
national implication.
If I store In pennies . . .
(pull theVal from the db as an integer)
put (theVal<o) into isNeg
replace "-" with empty in theVal
if len(theVal) =1 then put 0 before theVal
put "." before char -2 of theVal
If len(theVal) >6 then put comma before char -6 of theVal
If len(theVal) > 10 then put comma before char -10 of theVal
If len(theVal) > 14 then put comma before char -14 of theVal
put "$" before theVal
If isNeg put "-" before theVal
but it sure seems clumsy, and that I should simply be able to put something
like
format("-$,#.00", theVal)
and let the engine handle it in a fraction of the time.
