Hi Oliver,
There is the format method of the String class and a similar format() built
in function. I've never used them much and didn't find them too easy to
use. Once you understand them, they are probably easy.
In the incubator is an implementation of a decimal formatting class:
svn+ssh://miesf...@svn.code.sf.net/p/oorexx/code-0/incubator/decimalFormat
written by Lee. I've never tried that at all and don't know how easy it is
to use.
