optionally specifies the power of 10 by which to divide the value. If the data contain decimal points, the d value is ignored.

Details

The COMMAw.d informat reads numeric values and removes embedded commas, blanks, dollar signs, percent signs, dashes, and right parentheses from the input data. The COMMAw.d informat converts a left parenthesis at the beginning of a field to a minus sign.

Comparisons

The COMMAw.d informat operates like the COMMAXw.d informat, but it reverses the roles of the decimal point and the comma. This convention is common in European countries.

Examples
