Yes, you can use StrIToA. Both pointers will reference the memory
allocated to store the result string. You can find more information on
StrIToA here:

PalmOS does not include any currency formatting functions; you will need
to implement your own code to format the string. If you wish to store
this information as a ULong in a record in your database, you will need
a function to convert the formatted string to a ULong before writing it
to the database.
