Very sensible approach, Jocelyn. Precision is all the number, not the
SqlScale as you discovered.
Result := FloatToStrF( AsExtended,
ffCurrency,
18 {-SQLScale},
CurrencyDecimals )

In this case, SqlScale sounds more appropriate in place of
CurrencyDecimals, but it might be a disaster, not sure.
Beware that this limit of 18 places may produce weird results in the
neighborhood of INT64's top values that go up to 9E18. Maybe Geoff remembers
the convoluted function I wrote to deal with this problem. See
function CompToStr(n: comp): String;
in IBA_Column.IMP if this gives you an idea.
