India Check printing - words notation issue

Question

Hello,
I have a report for check printing for our india localization. I was able to change the words notation to Lakhs and Crores using ap_lookup_codes, lookup_type 'NLS TRANSLATION', but unable to change the way <b>commas</b> are displayed for amount field.
Eg. an amount of 112476100.48, is displayed as 112,476,100.48 (in words displays as one hundred and twelve thousand four hundred and seventy six one hundred rupees and forty eight paise) whereas for India localization, we need this to be displayed as 11,22,76,100.48 (eleven crore twenty two lakhs seventy six thousand one hundred and forty eight paise)
Function CHK_DISP
declare
l_check_amount varchar2(15);
l_inr_amount varchar2(15);
begin
SRW.REFERENCE(:C_CHECK_AMOUNT);
SRW.REFERENCE(:C_CURRENCY_CODE);
SRW.USER_EXIT('FND FORMAT_CURRENCY
CODE=":C_CURRENCY_CODE"
DISPLAY_WIDTH="15"
AMOUNT=":C_CHECK_AMOUNT"
DISPLAY=":C_CHECK_AMOUNT_DISP"
MINIMUM_PRECISION=0');
IF :C_CURRENCY_CODE = 'INR' THEN
l_inr_amount := to_char(:C_CHECK_AMOUNT, '99,99,99,999.99');
l_check_amount := replace(rtrim(l_inr_amount),' ','*');
ELSE
l_check_amount := replace(rtrim(:C_CHECK_AMOUNT_DISP),' ','*');     
END IF;
end;
This errors out for some reason.
If I just do a srw.message('6','l_inr_amount: '||to_char((:C_CHECK_AMOUNT, '99,99,99,999.99')); --- this works perfectly fine and displays the required format in log file. Can someone please advice on how to achieve these comma positions for India check printing?
Thanks in advance
Hari

Hi
Try to use CALL FUNCTION 'SPELL_AMOUNT'  Currecny Key = "USD"  irrespective of the  currency  and then based on the country key or langauge  Concatenate the Currency to the SPELL AMOUNT..
