Overview
The IsCurrencyProper function tests if a string contains accounting style characters and if the string is a properly formatted accounting value.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
boolean = IsCurrencyProper ( string value );
Parameters
value
A string to test.
Return Value
Returns TRUE if value is a properly formatted currency value or FALSE if it is not.
Remarks
The allowed current characters are dollars ($), pounds (£), yen (¥), and euros (€). The IsCurrencyProper function tests to ensure proper placement of the currency character relative to the numeric value and proper placement of other accounting punctuation (including ‘)’, ‘(‘, ‘-’, ‘,’, and ‘.’) relative to the numeric value. It does not ensure correct placement of commas and decimal points within the number nor does it ensure the correct number of digits. Multiple commas and decimal points are permitted. For less strict testing, use the IsCurrencyFormatted function.
