Problem with decimal numbers

Hello,

I've got a problem with the conversion of decimal numbers:

On my Personal Oracle Database, the command

        TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER('1.0')) works properly, the command

        TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER('1,0')) does not.

On an Oracle Database 7.3.2.2.1, it's vice versa. My procedures I developed doesn't run on this database.

Does anyone know on which Database parameters this behaviour depends and how I can change them? The windows country parameters are always the same, german in this case.

Any help and hints were appreciated.

Bye

        Michael
