Re: Changing decimal point in Reports 3

Hi Wim,

I have to appologise for my previous message.

You are right, it doesn't work. My current NLS setting mixed me up.

I've realized that Comma and Point (period) are parts of the "Number Format Mask Syntax":

Format Token Explanation
------------ -----------

. (period)	Prints a period (.) to separate the integral and 
                fractional parts of a number.
, (comma)	Prints a comma (,) as the group/thousands separator.

So you cannot use comma as a decimal separator... I'm sorry.

Try to use NLS setting instead.

Good Luck!
Valeri
