Hi All,
Is there anyway we can change the currency format?

Example Indian Rupees would be displayed as 1,23,456.78

US $ would be 123,456.78

Canada $ would be 123 456,78

Suresh,

As far as I know, WF provides only CDN (continental decimal notation) where the decimal point is a comma and the separator is a period.
If you want something more, use the FTOA function to create an alpha field and then EDIT.

As Daniel says, there is the CDN, is there any reason you don't want a comma in the Canadian, or was that an error on your post?

Leah,

I don't think it is an error: there a many countries where the 1000-separator is a space. And in switzerland it is the apostrophe '. Even in calculators!!!

Did you try to define your data in the MFD as a curreny, and the name of the currency.
e.g.
FIELDNAME=PRICE,ALIAS=PR, FORMAT=D9.2,CURR=country_name-from_list ,$

Search the documentation for how to find the list of currencies.(search is in upper right hand of this page)

Punctuating Numbers with CDN (WF761):

SET CDN = OFF    -   123,456.78
SET CDN = ON     -   123,456,78
SET CDN = SPACE  -   123 456,78
SET CDN = QUOTE  -   123'456,78
SET CDN = QUOTEP -   123'456.78
Ref: WF 761 - Punctuating numbers - SET CDN 

Not CDN value for:  1.23.456,78 (Indian number format)
(The Indian number format groups the lowest order 3 digits (thousands) and then every 2 digits after that)

Regards,
Mikel

Mikel,

Very nice. This shows that there is one acronym that has to be changed:
Not RTFM, but RAVOTFM (Read All Versions Of The Focus Manual)

Suresh, as Danny suggested the only option is to convert it to alpha and manipulate it

Best would be to either create your own user written subroutine or set up a DEFINE FUNCTION

For example set up the following function so that it is executed by your profile
(that way it will always be available).

DEFINE FUNCTION INDIAVAL (VALUE/D20.2)
A1/A22 = FTOA(VALUE, '(D20.2c)', 'A22');
A2/A27 = EDIT(A1,'99,99,99,99,99,99,99,999999');
A3/A27 = CTRAN(27, A2, 32, 44, 'A27');
INDIAVAL/A27 = TRIM('L',A3,27, ',', 1, 'A27');
END
-RUN

you can then call it via a DEFINE or COMPUTE at any time.

for example

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE TVALUE/D20.2=SALES * DEALER_COST + 0.99;
COMPUTE INDIAVAL/A27= INDIAVAL(TVALUE); AS 'Value,in,Rupees'
BY COUNTRY
IF SALES NE 0
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=INDIAVAL, JUSTIFY=RIGHT,$
END

Thanks a lot for the info Mikel.
was a great piece of info for CDN attributes.

I had a doubt if i could just specify country name or something as a parameter to get the currency values in that format.
