Example

Here is a simplified version of the PV Add format command example: the format, in this case, is abruptly replaced. The new format is not created if the old one is not present.

   ARRAY LONGINT($ArrayFormatNum;0)  `Format number(s) array
   ARRAY STRING(255;$ArrayFormatStrings;0)  `Format string(s) array
   C_INTEGER($Position)  `Position of format to modify in the number and name arrays

       `List of available formats
   PV GET FORMAT LIST (Area;$ArrayFormatNum;$ArrayFormatStrings) 

   $Position:=Find in array($ArrayFormatStrings;"$###,##0.00")
   If ($Position#-1)  `Format available for the area?
         `Modifying format
      PV SET FORMAT (Area;$ArrayFormatNum{$Position};"### ##0,00 EUR") 
   End if
