EUROXw.d


Syntax Description

w

specifies the width of the output field.

Default: 6
Range: 1-32
Tip: If you want the euro symbol to be part of the output, be sure to choose an adequate width. See Examples.
d

specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the numeric value.

Default: 0
Range: 0-31
Requirement: must be less than w

Comparisons

  • The EUROXw.d format is similar to the EUROw.d format, but EUROw.d format reverses the roles of the comma and the decimal point. This convention is common in English-speaking countries.

  • The EUROXw.d format is similar to the DOLLARXw.d format, except that DOLLARXw.d format writes a leading dollar sign instead of the euro symbol.


Examples

These examples use 1254.71 as the value of amount.
