Syntax Description
- w
-
specifies the width of the output field.

specifies to divide the number by 10d. If the data contains decimal separators, the d value is ignored.
Default: 0 Range: 0-31
| Details |
The NLMUMw.d format reads integer binary (fixed-point) values, including negative values that are represented in two's-complement notation. The NLNUMw.d format writes numeric values by using the thousands separator and the decimal separator that is used by the locale.
| Comparisons |
The NLNUMw.d format writes the numeric value with locale-dependent thousand and decimal separators. The NLNUMIw.d format writes the numeric value with a comma (,) as thousand separator and a period (.) as a decimal separator
If the w or d values are not large enough to generate a formatted number, the NLNUMw.d format uses an algorithm that prints the thousands-separator characters whenever possible, even if some decimal precision is lost.
