The FORMAT-AS-CURRENCY is a directive for formatting a number as a currency as specified by the locale.
format-as-currency <source> <destination> [<locale>]
The <source>
specifies the name of the column that contains number to be converted to currency as specified by locale.
The <destination>
contains the formatted value of currency as string
. Optional locale specifies the
locale to be used for formatting the number as string representation of currency in the <source>
column.
FORMAT-AS-CURRENCY
can be used to format a number representing currency into a locale currency. If locale is not
specified in the directive, a default of 'en_US' is assumed.
When the directive is unable to parse the currency, an error record is generated.
Following are few examples of parsing currency into number.
