Currency data type (LotusScript® Language)
Specifies a variable that contains an 8-byte integer, scaled to four decimal places to suitably represent a monetary value.
Usage
The Currency suffix character for implicit type declaration is @.
Use the Currency data type for calculations with money.
Currency variables are initialized to 0.
The range of Currency values is -922,337,203,685,477.5807 to 922,337,203,685,477.5807, inclusive.
On Unix platforms, the values must fall within the range -922,337,203,685,477.5666 to 922,337,203,685,477.5666, inclusive.
Use the Currency data type for fixed point calculations in which four-decimal-place accuracy is meaningful.
LotusScript® aligns Currency data on a 4-byte boundary. In user-defined types, declaring variables in order from highest to lowest alignment boundaries makes the most efficient use of data storage space.
