template::util::currency::set_property (public)

 template::util::currency::set_property what currency_list value

Defined in packages/acs-templating/tcl/currency-procs.tcl

Set a currency value to a set value, with that value being of "what" form. Currently the only "what" supported is sql_number, it being assumed (somewhat reasonably) that SQL's NUMERIC datatype will be used to store currency data in the database, regardless of locale.

Parameters:

what (required)

What kind of value is being passed in (sql_number is the only format supported)

currency_list (required)

A currency data type value

value (required)

The value to set currency_list to

Returns:

currency_list set to value
