Formatting an IliValue Object

Data Access User Manual > Rogue Wave Views Data Access Common Framework > Handling Values in Data Access > Data Types > Formatting an IliValue Object

An IliValue object can be formatted using the format member function. This is shown in the following example:

IliString stringBuf;

IliFormat fmt(“#,##0.00 Yens”);

IliValue value = 5.677;

value.format(stringBuf, fmt);

IlvPrint(“Price: %s”, (const char*)stringBuf);

You can also use the getFormatted member function, which does not require an IliString parameter to store the result. An example is shown in the following code:

IliFormat fmt(“#,##0.00 Yens”);

IliValue value = 5.677;

const char* result = value.getFormatted(fmt);

IlvPrint(“Price: %s, result);

Note that the getFormatted member function returns its result in a static character buffer. This result must therefore be used immediately after the call.
