MTFormatNumber
mt-format-number(Number as xs:numeric, PictureString as xs:string) as xs:string XP3.1 XQ3.1 Takes a number as the first argument, formats it according to the second (PictureString) argument, and returns the formatted number as a string. This is useful for formatting difficult-to-read numbers into a format that is more reader-friendly. The picture string can also contain characters, such as currency symbols, and so can also be used to insert characters in the formatted output. If you wish to insert a zero at a digit position when no digit exists in the input number at that position, then use a zero in that digit position of the picture string (see examples below). If you do not wish to force a zero (or other character), use the hash symbol (#).
Digits before the decimal separator are never foreshortened. The decimal part of a number (to the right of the decimal separator) as well as the units digit (first digit to the left of the decimal separator) are rounded off if the picture string of the decimal part is shorter than the number of decimal places in the input number.
Note: The grouping separator and decimal separator in the formatted output on the mobile device will be those of the language being used on the mobile device.
