A custom pattern that may consist of symbols; see "Number patterns" below. Note that the
repetition of pattern letters plays a part in determining the exact presentation.
currencyNoSymbol(value)
Formats a number as a currency whilst omitting the currency symbol.
value
A number. This can be a value from a field that contains a SmallInteger, BigInteger, Float,
SmallCurrency or LargeCurrency.
grouped(value)
Formats a number using a thousands separator. Which separator is used depends on the
Locale, see "Locale" on page520.
value
A number. This can be a value from a field that contains a SmallInteger, BigInteger, Float,
SmallCurrency or LargeCurrency.
Number patterns
Numbers, used in a template and originating from a field in a record set, can be displayed using
a custom pattern. You can type the pattern directly in the Format field in the Text Script Wizard;
see "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page537 and "Formatting variable data" on page540. In
the Script Editor, the pattern can be passed to a function of the formatter; also see "formatter"
on page797.
Note that for this to work, in the DataMapper the field that contains the value must be set to
SmallInteger, BigInteger, Float, SmallCurrency or LargeCurrency.
The custom pattern may consist of pattern characters (see below), a prefix and a suffix.
The repetition of pattern letters determines the exact presentation. For example, the pattern
"00000" limits the number to 5 digits and adds leading zeros to any numbers that are not 5
digits long.
