Thank both, Kent and Martin: You are both correct ... adding a dollar sign corrects the issue. I was looking for a command-line argument or a master setting of some type that would affect reports for the entire file of about 41,000 lines of entries. I have since done a search/replace of all numbers by adding a dollar sign, and I can confirm that this works now.
