Hello Jeff,
     maybe I'm wrong.... :-(

I want to have NOT to use TWO Functions, or methods, ...

I want to have an OPTION (or an additional Parameter in FORMAT, which
tells FORMAT to insert a DOT after each triple of digits (from right to
left,
and only after the deimal POINT).

But I will have to reread the specification of format ... :-(

By the way: Your example is CLASSIC REXX!

Doesn't work in NetRexx, by the way... :-(
... unless you do use my RexxFunc additions ;-)
............................ and that's the reason why I did ask ! <<grin>>

Thomas.
