Formats a string representing a numeric or decimal value, to an input length of 6000 characters, and adds commas after every set of three numbers, on all values to the right of the decimal (if any) basically it takes a sting such as '1234567890.123' and returns '1,234,567,890.123'. Nice for a more "human-readable" display of large numbers, money values, etc. Can be utilized as either a function (SQL 2000) or a stored procedure, or cut out into your own script. Tested on SQL 2000 & 7, although it might work on 6.5 as well. CONVERT works well, I know, but this is more flexible, besides, I hate "black boxes", and would rather code it myself anyway :)
