Operation Notes
Split-stack calls are not permitted.
The intrinsic combines NLINFO calls with
itemnum s 9, 10, 31, 32, and 33. The information
is formatted where needed (for example, any spaces in the currency symbol/name are
included). The currency symbol/name is the shortest nonblank descriptor, as returned from
NLINFO
itemnum s 10 and 31.
This intrinsic does not provide any information not obtainable with NLINFO. It is included
for the convenience of the NLS user. For efficiency, the user of this intrinsic calls it only
once, saves the result, and calls NLFMTNUM and/or NLCONVNUM multiple times.
