Convert a Double to String : M3

Since M3 java code is similar to RPG and use MvxString rather than String, here it is the code to convert/format numeric value to alpha value in M3.

   1:  this.PXNUM = dSUM;

   2:  this.PXALPH.clear();

   3:  SRCOMNUM.COMNUM();

   4:  WQT[tempIdx].moveRight(this.PXALPH);

In line number:

1. assign double value which is to be converted.
2. clear any previous value of PXALPH.
3. actual conversion . The SRCCOMNUM is an object of cSRCOMNUM class declared in mvx.app.util
4. gets converted alphanumeric value.

Let, dSUM= 38.05580 and if we want

• to display dSUM with 2 decimal:

   1:  this.PXNUM = dSUM; 

   2:  this.PXALPH.clear();   

   3:  this.PXDCCD = 2; // setting number of decimals.

   4:  SRCOMNUM.COMNUM(); 

   5:  WQT[tempIdx].moveRight(this.PXALPH);

---

Output> 38.05

---

• to display negative value: Here we have a option, to which character to be used for negative representations. (i.e. –38.05, (38.55), 38.05- etc)

   1:  this.PXNUM = dSUM; 

   2:  this.PXALPH.clear();   

   3:  this.PXDCCD = 2; 

   4:  SRCOMNUM.PXPNVB='('; // Left character if negative

   5:  SRCOMNUM.PXPNVA=')'; // Right character if negative

   6:  SRCOMNUM.COMNUM(); 

   7:  WQT[tempIdx].moveRight(this.PXALPH);

---

Output> (38.05)
