Sys2FormatNumber

Description

Formats a number to use thousands-grouping characters. The system values for the current locale are used for the thousands-grouping character and the decimal place, if any. Note that the IBM C runtime's built-in locale definitions are used; these may not correspond precisely to the system locales as defined in the OS/2 Locale object.

The input number may be a positive or negative integer or floating point value. It must be a simple, non-localized number value; in other words, it must not contain any thousands-grouping characters, and any decimal point which it contains must be a period (rather than any localized decimal symbol).
