                                 L_NUM2STR()


Syntax:        L_NUM2STR(<expN>)


Purpose:       Converts an integer into a character string
               representing the amount in English words.


Argument:      <expN> is the integer numeric expression to convert to
               a character string.


Returns:       A character string.


Usage:         L_NUM2STR() is useful any time a numeric amount needs
               to be written out in words.

               NUM2STR handles numbers between negative
               999,999,999.999 and positive 999,999,999.999999.

               L_NUM2STR will return a string prefixed by the word
               "minus" for negative values.

               Note that since L_NUM2STR assumes integer input it will
               truncate all digits to the right of the decimal point.


               If you intend to use this function for currency amounts
               see L_TOMONEY().


Example:       ans = L_NUM2STR(34)
               ? ans            && Result: thirty four

               ans = L_NUM2STR(34.03)
               ? ans            && Result: thirty four

               ans = L_NUM2STR(34985)
               ? ans            && Result: thirty four thousand nine hundred
               eighty five

               ans = L_NUM2STR(-34985)
               ? ans            && Result: minus thirty four thousand nine
               hundred eighty five
