PLB_DECIMAL Keyword

PLBWIN, PLBCE or PLBLinux

PLB_DECIMAL={character}

This keyword defines the numeric decimal character used in DISPLAY and KEYIN instructions. The default value is a period.

The runtime accepts the {character} or the normal period character as the FORM variable decimal point. The {character} is only accepted as a keyed character for the decimal point. The {character} for this case is changed to a period and all of the normal output operations for a FORM will show the character as a period.

For PLBWIN or PLBCE, the acceptable {character} for the keyed decimal point in a FORM is specified by one of two means. If the PLB_LOCALE=ON is specified, the decimal point character is determined from the Windows locale configuration settings. If PLB_LOCALE is not specified, the PLB_DECIMAL={character} is checked. If the keyword is found, {character} is used for the keyed decimal point. The PLB_DECIMAL is not checked however when the PLB_LOCALE=ON is specified.
