System dependent number format

Hi,

suprisingly I did not found anything about this. I would have thought that this is a basic requirement.

Is it possible to have different Thousand and Comma separators in an application, depending on the system settings? Ideally I do not want to mess too much with my expressions.

I guess I could get the seperators from the system with a macro at startup and then wrap every expression in a num() command, but that seems very tedious

Thanks for the help,

Harald

Do your users reload?

If so, I think if you remove the explicit SET statements for the formatting at the start of your script, system settings will be used (or saying it the other way round: these SET statements override system setting).

If they don't, just opening the app, are they opening the app via desktop client or via server?

They do not reload. I tried with removing the explicit SET statements already, but that didn't work out for me.

They are also opening the app via server, so presumably the server setting is used for them?
