The COMMAw.d format writes numeric values with a comma that separates every three digits and a period that separates the decimal fraction.

The COMMAw.d format is similar to the COMMAXw.d format, but the COMMAXw.d format reverses the roles of the decimal point and the comma. This convention is common in European countries.
The COMMAw.d format is similar to the DOLLARw.d format except that the COMMAw.d format does not print a leading dollar sign.
