GOAL:
I18N. How to change the format of your numeric display when you install Progress?
GOAL:
-numsep Startup Parameter
GOAL:
-numdec Startup Parameter
GOAL:
-E startup Parameter
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
Progress Version 8.x has two possible formats and they are set with the -E parameter:
American 1,234.56
European 1.234,56
Since Version 9.x, Progress added two more parameters:
-numsep (thousands separator)
-numdec (decimal or fractional separator).
Then now the formats are:
American -numsep 44 -numdec 46
European -numsep 46 -numdec 44
When you select a numeric format during the installation process, these parameters are written into the startup.pf file that is located in the DLC directory. If an error was made in the installation which causes an incorrect display format, you can edit the startup.pf file to make it contain the correct values. In this case, there is no need to reinstall Progress.
The -numdec and -numsep parameters doesn't accept the following values:
A. The characters B C D R Z z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - < > ( ) * ?
B. Any multi-byte character.
note: The space character can be used as thousands separator
