| Details |
The NLMNYw.d format reads integer binary (fixed-point) values, including negative values that are represented in two's-complement notation. The NLMNYw.d format writes numeric values by using the currency symbol, the thousands separator, and the decimal separator that is used by the locale.
Note: The NLMNYw.d format does not convert currency format, therefore, the value
of the formatted number should equal the currency of the current locale value. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)

The NLMNYw.d and NLMNYIw.d formats write the monetary format with locale-dependent thousands and decimal separators. However, the NLMNYIw.d format uses three-letter international currency codes, such as USD, while NLMNYw.d format uses local currency symbols, such as $.
The NLMNYw.d format is similar to the DOLLARw.d format except that the NLMNYw.d format is locale-specific.
