Formatting Numbers To Chars

[bobbarker]

Without writing a function, does anyone know of any Foxpro commands to convert a number to characters - e.g. convert 301 to "three hundred and one"
Yours in hope...

No, there is no function to do so.
The only solution is to "pick up" a routine that does the job.
There are several available for free.

Thanks for the response Rob.
I only dabble in Fox 2.6 from time to time so do not not many resources.
Do you have any suggestions as to where I could start looking for such routines.
Thanks again.

There may not be much to find in this forum, but a lot of code in Visual FoxPro works just fine in good old FoxPro for DOS/Windows, just make sure the code doen't use any of the newer commands or functions.

This FAQ over on one of the Visual FoxPro forums has code that may be helpful to you, just remove or comment out the parts you don't need such as "dollars" and "cents". I wrote a shorter program about 20 years ago but I haven't seen it for quite a while. If I find it, I'll post it.
