ConvertFloatToCurrency

---

Usage

Use the ConvertFloatToCurrency function to display numbers in output targets in currency format, to two decimal places. If you do not use the ConvertFloatToCurrency function, you must write a custom function to format and display output target numbers in currency format.

Use ConvertFloatToCurrency by itself or inside a BuildTarget function to format values before they appear in the application.

Syntax

ConvertFloatToCurrency(value)

Argument	Description
value	Value to be converted, in floating-point form.

Example

The following sample code uses ConvertFloatToCurrency with the BuildTarget function to convert and return numbers in currency format:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

document.write(ISS.BuildTarget("TEXT",window,"PRICE",
ISS.ConvertFloatToCurrency));

</SCRIPT>

In this example, ConvertFloatToCurrency returns numbers in text output targets in currency format. For example:

31.1 would return 31.10
20 would return 20.00
20.50 would return 20.50
20.605 would return 20.61
