You may be on to something, but it's not quite treated as a literal. If I substitute the letter "Q" for the "$", I do not see the Q at all with "@ZQ 999,999,999" but I do see it with "@Z Q999,999,999", at the extreme left of the output. Another oddity is today, I don't see the ".00" at all and the number is formated correctly with all ",", etc that appear in the string. Very strange, but there does seem to be something related to just the "$" or currency indicator. Phase of the moon? < g >
