Several things: I think no space is allowed between the format name and the = "format Amount:" what is this? You can only have one format for each name; you can select different names by setting the $~ variable (see perldoc perlvar). If you need more help, please show your complete code including the write calls you are using to actually use the formats.	[reply]
