The NLPCTw.d format writes percentage data of the local expression in the specified locale. The NLPCTw.d format writes the percentage value with locale-dependent thousand and decimal separators. The NLPCTIw.d format writes the percentage value with a comma (,) as thousand separator and a period (.) as a decimal separator.
