The DOLLARw.d format writes numeric values with a leading dollar sign,
a comma that separates every three digits, and a period that separates the
decimal fraction.
The hexadecimal representation of the code for the
dollar sign character ($) is 5B on EBCDIC systems and 24 on ASCII systems.
The monetary character that these codes represent might be different in other
countries, but DOLLARw.d
always produces one of these codes. If you need another monetary character,
define your own format with the FORMAT procedure. See The FORMAT Procedure in
Base SAS Procedures Guide for more details.
-
The DOLLARw.d format is similar to the
DOLLARXw.d format, but the DOLLARXw.d format reverses the roles of the decimal point
and the comma.
This convention is common in European countries.
-
The DOLLARw.d format is the same as the
COMMAw.d format except that the COMMAw.d format does not write a leading dollar
sign.
