Many users have complained that is difficult to read large numbers in an Open Access screen form as there is no grouping (commas to Indicate
thousands.) Also users printing numbers in print forms have requested more options. CVTNUM answers these requests by formatting a number according to the user's requirements. The user can specify the width and precision of the resultant string as well as a number of options that control justification, how to display negative numbers and currency.
