Re: Invert decimal separator for numeric data

Your talking about a DSPF - so an interactive job is involved.

Simply configure your job to use the decimal separator you like:

===> CHGJOB JOB(*) DECFMT(*BLANK)

From this moment on, all numeric fields should use . as the decimal separator.

So your keyboard should work without problems.

Of course you can configure this also on user profile or job description level. But configuring it at runtime gives you a lot of flexibility.

How about doing a scan and replace of the . with a ,?

Hi all

I'm developing an RPGLE application for Zebra PDA TC26; as Zebra numeric
keyboard , have decimal point (in the view together to number) , i would
like to let the user , enter number with dot to separate decimal values also
if normally we use comma to indicate the decimals in a number.

For example : in the DSPF , user enter 1234.56 that from DB is 1234,56 (4
integers and two decimals) ;

how could i solve this matter ? i asked to Zebra assistance for change dot
to comma in the numeric keyboard, but they told me that the only way i sto
configure another keyborad and is not too easy ..

any other had e similar problem?

Thanks in advance
