History

New in ColdFusion MX: This function might return different formatting than in earlier releases. This function uses Java standard locale formatting rules on all platforms. This function determines whether the current locale's country belongs to the Euro Zone, whose members have converted to the euro; if so, it displays the currency value in euros.

Parameters

Parameter Description

currency-string
Locale-specific string or a variable that contains one.

Parameter	Description
currency-string	Locale-specific string or a variable that contains one.

Usage

This function uses Java standard locale formatting rules on all platforms.

For example ColdFusion code and output that shows differences between earlier ColdFusion releases and ColdFusion MX in accepting input formats and displaying output, see LSEuroCurrencyFormat.

This function is similar to LSParseCurrency, but it parses only euro currency.

For a list of the locale options that ColdFusion supports, see SetLocale.

To set the default display format of date, time, number, and currency values, use the SetLocale function.
