Details

The WORDFw. format converts numeric values to their equivalent in English words, with fractions that are represented numerically in hundredths. For example, 8.2 is printed as eight and 20/100.
Negative numbers are preceded by the word minus. When the value's equivalent in words does not fit into the specified field, it is truncated on the right and the last character is printed as an asterisk.

Comparisons

The WORDFw. format is similar to the WORDSw. format except that WORDFw. prints fractions as numbers instead of words.
