Purpose
Change the character used as a decimal point
Syntax
SET POINT TO [<expC>]
See Also
Description
The SET POINT command is used to change the decimal point character from a period (.) to the character specified by <expC>. The decimal point character is changed for output purposes only. Regardless of the character specified by the SET POINT command, the period is used when a decimal value is stored in a field or a memory variable. When entering a decimal value into a field, <expC> may be used as the decimal point, but the character will be changed to a period (.) when the record is saved. If the character expression, <expC>, evaluates to more than one character, the SET POINT command only uses the first character in the string. Used without the optional <expC>, the SET POINT command sets the decimal point back to a period (.).
Example
set separator to "." set point to "," display all ord_value, customer
