Hi TSM-development,
   isn't it possible to have a NUMBERFORMAT which just produces the
SIMPLEST form of a number, i.e. W_I_T_H_O_U_T  ANY national separator ?

NUMBERFORMAT=1 is very near to what I want, but any 1000s-separator (the
"comma") should be omitted too.

I don't want to present here various examples, but just point to items
like a "Session id" growing bigger than 100000  or "filesize 1,234,567"
being just an INTEGER, so processing without any "hickhack" should be
possible.

Hope some others, being fed up with the NUMBERFORMAT, will second.
