Hi Bob,

Are they running BPCS? If so, it does handle it, have to refresh my memory how. We have this problem all the time in Europe, because the QDECFMT for the UK is the same as the US, but France etc all use a comma instead for the decimal point. So each country's system has the appropriate QDECFMT system value for their locality, but if they are using BPCS on a different DECFMT country box it doesn't matter. Let me know if you'd like more details,

cheers,

Clare

Thank you all for your input.

I have found the 'Locale job attributes (SETJOBATR)' at the user profile
level but am not clear on how to implement the Locale part of the equation.
When I checked it out with IBM it looks like it has to do with COBOL, C or
C++ programs.  We are trying to accommodate a Chile environment using
RPG(LE) programs.
Any help in implementing the *DECFMT for individual users or environments
would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Bob Kohlndorfer

You can select default editing formats by user profile. There are options
to select decimal format, date editing, language  for system menus and
messages in the user profile.

Things to consider from a programming standpoint are field
descriptions/headings on screens  and reports, and messages sent by your
programs. Your programs may also need to be changed to handle the new date
formats. Most non-US countries enter dates in DDMMYY format, instead of
the MMDDYY format we are used to. Your date and number editing routines
will probably need to look  at the job description or user profile
attributes to do editing.

Field headings on reports and screens may need to be revised, because the
abbreviated descriptions that work in English, don't work in Spanish, and
there may be shorter descriptions for some fields in Spanish that don't
work in English.

Number editing in Chile






I need to add a Chile environment on our AS/400.

The problem we have is that the numbers in Chile need to be formatted
differently then in the US.

In Chile they switch the '.' and ',' in numbers so that the '.' is the
thousand separator and '.' marks the beginning of the decimal portion of
numbers.

For example 1,234.56 in US would be 1.234,56 in Chile.



Does anyone know of an easy way to handle these changes?



Thanks,

Bob Kohlndorfer
