    Problem Text
    We think %20=0#5n is an incorrect format specification because
    according to the XPG4 specification on strfmon():

    "A conversion specification consists of the following sequence:
    - a % character
    - optional flags
    - optional field width
    - optional field width
    - optional left precision
    - optional right precision
    - a required conversion character ... "


    The test suite format string does not conform to the above order. The correct order would be
    %=020#5n. Hence we think that the test needs to be fixed.
    Test Output
    /tset/XPG4.os/genuts/strfmon/T.strfmon 15 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strfmon() is supported:
    When both a width specification and a left precision specification
    with a numeric fill character are specified, then strfmon() first
    formats the result according to the left precision specification
    and then places this formatted value into a field of the specified
    size and alignment according to the width specification.
    Otherwise:
    A call to strfmon() returns -1 and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    SET locale for LC_MONETARY category
    CALL strfmon(buf,maxsize,format,value), where format is set to
    "%20=0#5n"
    VERIFY that buf[] contains the expected value

    Test Information:
    strfmon(buf, 256, "%20=0#5n", ...) did not return expected results
    %d=0#dn specification align columns left of radix char
    Current language is VSX4L3
    Expected string : [ Dm01 234^560]
    Actual string : [%20=0#5n]
