Personally, I wouldn't try to do all this numeric formatting manually. I'd load the numeric values into a very large RPG numeric field (say, 63P30 or something like that) using the %DEC() BIF to convert the data. Then, I'd use _LBCPYNV ...

I knew I was forgetting something. _LBCPYNV is by far the best solution for this.
