FMTS

Use the FMTS function to format elements of dynamic array for output. Each element of the array is independently acted upon and returned as an element in a new dynamic array.

COMMAND SYNTAX

    FMTS(dynamic.array, format)

SYNTAX ELEMENTS

format is an expression that evaluates to a string of formatting codes. The Syntax of the format expression is:

[width] [background] justification [edit] [mask]

The format expression specifies the width of the output field, the placement of background or fill characters, line justification, editing specifications, and format masking.

For complete syntax details, See also: FMT function.

If dynamic.array evaluates to null, it returns null. If format evaluates to null, the FMTS function fails and the program enters the debugger.

EXAMPLE

       X = 1234.56 :@FM: 123456.78 :@FM: -123456.78 :@FM: 1234567890
       CRT OCONV( FMTS(X, 'R2*12'), 'MCP' )

Output: 

     ∗∗∗∗∗1234.56^∗∗∗123456.78^∗∗-123456.78^234567890.00
