pui.editWord( value, editWord, [options] );

Formats a number according to an edit word.  This JavaScript function is meant to work similarly to the %EDITW built-in function available in RPG.

Parameters:

  • value = numeric value or expression that is to be formatted

  • editWord = edit word format, same as you would use in IBM i applications

  • options = (optional) a JavaScript object with options to configure the edit word behavior

    • options.currencySymbol = Symbol used for currency. Must match the character provided in the editWord. Default: $

    • options.decimalFormat = Type of decimal formatting.  Blank is the default, and uses a period as the decimal separator.  Use I or J for a comma.

Example:

var myVal = 12.34; var myString = pui.editWord( myVal, " $0. "); // myString is now " $12.34 "



pui.editWord first appeared in Profound UI 5.13.0
