LSCurrencyFormatDescriptionFormats a number in a locale-specific currency format. For countries that use the euro, the result depends on the JVM. See alsoLSEuroCurrencyFormat, LSIsCurrency, LSParseCurrency, LSParseEuroCurrency, SetLocale; Handling data in ColdFusion in the Developing ColdFusion Applications HistoryColdFusion 8: Added the locale parameter. ColdFusion MX: Changed formatting behavior: this function might return different formatting than in earlier releases. If a negative number is passed to it, it returns a negative number. If type = "local", it returns the value in the current locale’s standard format. If type = "international", it returns the value in the current locale’s international standard format. This function uses Java standard locale formatting rules on all platforms. Parameters
UsageThis function uses Java standard locale formatting rules on all platforms. Note: With a Sun 1.3.1-compliant JVM, use the LSEuroCurrencyFormat function
to format euro currency values.
Currency outputThe following table shows sample currency output. For locales that use Euro, the Local and International columns contains two entries. The first is entry is the result with a Sun the 1.4.1 or later compliant JVM, the second entry is the result with a 1.3.1-compliant JVM.
Note: ColdFusion maps Spanish
(Modern) to the Spanish (Standard) format.
To set the default display format of date, time, number, and currency values, use the SetLocale function. Example<h3>LSCurrencyFormat Example</h3>
<p>LSCurrencyFormat returns a currency value using the locale
convention. Default value is "local."
<!--- loop through list of locales; show currency values for 100,000 units --->
<cfloop LIST = "#Server.Coldfusion.SupportedLocales#"
index = "locale" delimiters = ",">
<cfset oldlocale = SetLocale(locale)>
<cfoutput><p><b><I>#locale#</I></b><br>
Local: #LSCurrencyFormat(100000, "local")#<br>
International: #LSCurrencyFormat(100000, "international")#<br>
None: #LSCurrencyFormat(100000, "none")#<br>
