d

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

Tip:	If d is 2, then YENw.d writes a decimal point and two decimal digits. If d is 0, then YENw.d does not write a decimal point or decimal digits.

Details

The YENw.d format writes numeric values with a leading yen sign and with a comma that separates every three digits of each value.

The hexadecimal representation of the code for the yen sign character is 5B on EBCDIC systems and 5C on ASCII systems. The monetary character these codes represent might be different in other countries.
