%edtc with edit code N might do it for you.

Subject: Convert decimal number to string
The consultnt wants numeric values with decimal point and a leading minus sign (if negative).
I thought I could do it like this:
eval bal = %editw( acct_bal : '- . ')
A test showed that 1234.56 a packed field, was converted to 123456.
I have no idea if the minus sign will show.
Should I use %wditc instead? What code will show a decimal point, no commas, and a leading minus sign?
