[DUG] Need help in format function

[Vikas...]

well we are not using Multi threading in this case . This is a legacy system
and we have no plans to consider threading in it in future. Person who
programed it in 1997 dint considered any safe practices before, he just
worte in a fashion which serve the req of client.

Well intiitaly i was tying with fromat fuction but i dint served my purpose
then i moved to floattostrf this is not healthy functions in multi threaded
that i knew it.

But anyways like i said in previous mail my work arround made the bug to go
away and made my client stop complaing of the loses he occrured due to this
[?]

But yeah i will re change it soon to optimise the way u guys sugguesting

thanks
