Number format error in free marker

Hi,

I am doing some computation in freemarker. I am getting the the value from
the requestParameters. for eg. 

[#if RequestParameters.offset??]
    [#assign offset = RequestParameters.offset?number]
[#else]
    [#assign offset = 0]
[/#if]

this offset can grow up to a large value. However, FM adds a separator if it
goes beyond 999. 
So 1000 becomes 1,000.

I tried using ?c but that did not work either.
Is there any number format setting that I can do so that I can tell FM no to
add any separator?

Thanks
