It is bothersome limitation not to be able to use the comma in the normal way when programming in those languages.

In almost all the countries we use the comma to separate the integer

part

from the decimal fraction, so for us it is very clear that the example is sending to "myProc" a value of twelve dolars and seventeen cents.
But that's an RPG thing, to allow the comma, right?  You don't do that
in C, or Java, do you?  I'm not arguing for or against comma vs. colon,
just asking a question.
