GOAL:
How to overwrite the European numeric format (-E) set within $DLC/startup.pf
GOAL:
How to overwrite the none American numsep and numdec from $DLC/startup.pf
FIX:
There is no "+E" parameter for overwriting the European numeric format and having back the default American format.
There are two ways to set the American numeric format for an European installation of Progress.
You either do:
1. Make a copy of $DLC/startup.pf, within "mystartup.pf" for example
2. Suppress in the copy, "mystartup.pf" in that sample, the line "-E"
3. Set the environment variable PROSTARTUP to point to the modified file. For example, on Unix:
PROSTARTUP="/mydir/mystartup.pf"; export PROSTARTUP
Or you do:
1. Add "-numsep 44 -numdec 46" as session parameters, as per example
pro sports -numsep 44 -numdec 46 -p _dict.p
