I never heard about this technique before. Very good!

Correct.
We then implemented our own function [eg: M2AmountToCurr() ] which
formats such a number [only

Integer math = Currency or in DB numeric(18, 4)

create domain AMOUNT as numeric(18,4);

Hmm, but it is break the balance in the budget of my customer.
I resolved it by adding CurrABS function, but i don't think it is good idea.

The problem is that on i386 (and in Delphi on i386), operations on the

The problem is caused by the facts that

unit
b) there is no separate abs() for
25 matches
