NUMERIC-FORMAT Attribute

How to interpret commas and periods within numeric values.

Data Type: CHARACTER

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies To: SESSION System Handle

The possible values are "American", "European" or a character string consisting of the thousands separator followed by the decimal point. This attribute provides the same functionality as the European Numeric Format (-E) parameter.

NOTE: Although NUMERIC-FORMAT remains writable, it accepts only the values “European” and “American.” To change the thousands separator or the decimal point in formatted text, use the new SET-NUMERIC-FORMAT( ) method of the SESSION system handle.
