GETFPLAC C-3


NAME



getfplac - get number of decimal places in MONEY

SYNOPSIS



#include

int getfplac()

DESCRIPTION



Getfplac returns the number of decimal places in money values.
This value effects how numbers are stored internally. For
example, U.S.A. format specifies 2 decimal places and money
values are kept as pennies. Italy format specifies 0 decimal
places and money values are kept as lire.

This number is used by programs that must make adjustments to
money values (like the report writer). Most programs should not
be affected by this value. This number is also used when
converting a money value containing a decimal place character.

The number of decimal places is retrieved from the country format
structure (see fcountry(C-3)).
