i have created a  dataset of about 100 obs out of an external file and i used the proper format/informat  to read and write  the values of "account"

bank_name  account

BMO $1,000,000

TD     $2,000,000

RBC  $23,000,000

..........................

..............................

when i use rbreak after in my proc report  the total of "account" does not get formatted properly. I get something like $350000000.So what happened to the comma ?

Can i format the totals of each column after the rbreak?

Please advise
