Edit Word formatting question

Hi folks,

We are currently conducting an investigation regarding future support of 
the Edit Word in our Web UI.
As many of you might be aware, Edit Word syntax is quite elaborate, and 
hence complex. 

One of the Edit Word examples that DDS documentation provides, has to do 
with currency formatting, in particular:

Edit Word
Program Value
Displayed As
'   ,   ,   DOLLARS  CENTS'
0000135678
1,356DOLLARS78CENTS


I wanted to get an idea whether similar usage of Edit Word for formatting 
currency and/or other 'units of measure' 
constructs (for example FEET and INCHES) are commonly used in the 
RPG/COBOL applications.

Any information/opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
