This structure is used to store a currency value.

Syntax 

typedef CY CURRENCY;

Remarks

A currency number is stored as an 8-byte, two's complement integer, scaled by 10,000 to give a fixed-point number with 15 digits to the left of the decimal point and 4 digits to the right. This representation provides a range of 922337203685477.5807 to -922337203685477.5808. The CURRENCYdata type is useful for calculations involving money, or for any fixed-point calculation where accuracy is particularly important.

The CURRENCYdata type is defined as the union of a structure containing two bytes and a 64-bit integer, using the following code:

Copy Code 
typedef union FARSTRUCT tagCY {
  struct { 
#ifdef _MAC
	long		Hi;
	unsigned long Lo;
#else
	unsigned long Lo;
	long		Hi;
#endif
  };  
  LONGLONG int64;
} CY;
