In the Informix 3.3 ALL-II library there was a function called dbprusing()
which allowed you to format a double type variable according to the
"print using" syntax used in ACE.  This was a very convenient way to get
commas, dollar signs, and ()'s into C program output.

I am now doing a project in Informix ESQL/C (version 2.10.00) and noticed
that this function (or an equivalent) no longer exists.  Am I missing
something?  Am I RTFM'ing wrong?

If this function is not a part of Informix ESQL/C, does anyone have a
function which does this type of formatting?

Thanks for listening.
