BracketNumberFormat(myNum)
Last updated August 26, 2002
Version: 1 | Requires: ColdFusion 5 | Library: StrLib
Description:
When using NumberFormat (under CF5) function, you have to supply place settings (a "9" or a "_") if you want to use brackets to display a negative number instead of a "-" (minus) sign. BracketNumberFormat uses NumberFormat in conjunction with a bit more code to provide a negative number with brackets surrounding it.
In CFMX, you can simply use a number format mask of "()" to get the same result.
Return Values:
Returns a string.
Example:
#BracketNumberFormat(2109)#<br>
#BracketNumberFormat(-2109)#<br>
</cfoutput>
Parameters:
| Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| myNum | Number to format. | Yes |
