NAME
moneytoa - convert MONEY to ASCIISYNOPSIS
#includechar *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.SEE ALSO
