NAME


moneytoa - convert MONEY to ASCII

SYNOPSIS


#include 

char *moneytoa (m)
MONEY m;

DESCRIPTION


Moneytoa converts the MONEY value m to its ASCII string
representation and returns a pointer to that string with all
leading blanks removed.  The format returned by getfmoney(C-3)
provides the format to convert the MONEY value.

The operand is a MONEY value expressed in the basic unit of
currency (i.e., pennies for U.S.A. values). Moneytoa first
converts the value to a string and then formats the number with
the system format, inserting the decimal place character at the
appropriate point. This method guarantees that there are no
rounding errors when converting a floating point MONEY value to
its character string representation.

DIAGNOSTICS

If the format is invalid, a pointer to an empty string is
returned.

NOTES


The return value points to static data whose contents are
overwritten with every call.
