currency and number formatter

[een]

How do I format a currency field so that it displays 01000000 as $1,000,000.00

my code to display currently is

where cost is defined as a variable

I've looked at the server side script API and do not seem to be able to locate anything.

Hi Ian,

Use getDisplayValue() method. Like current.<your currency field name>.getDisplayValue()

Unfortunately in my case the value i'm displaying is derived by adding up multiple values, so the field/variable i'm wishing to display is not a field from a record but rather a variable that i've created in my method. Hope this makes sense. I've included the code snippet. I'm sure there probably is a simple answer, however i'm new to service now coding so still learning the API

Ian,

  you can use something like this

var currency_code=equipment.cost.getCurrencyCode();

cost= cost+ equipment.cost.getCurrencyValue();

Finally you can append both currency code and value

var final_cost= currency_code+' '+cost;
