moneytoa - convert MONEY to ASCII
#include
char *moneytoa (m)
MONEY m;
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.
