| Question | Using Plex 5.0 and iSeries as the database and webserver the formatting of numeric fields is incorrect when using comma as decimal separator. |
| Answer | The problem is related to the way Plex casts character fields
to numeric fields.
Using Plex 4.0 and prior the cast always assumed that dot (.) represented the thousand separator. Using Plex 5.0 and later the cast argument checks the local settings of the iSeries OS/400, which results in using comma (,) as thousand separator when using European settings of the iSeries. |
| Workaround | To fix this insert the following statement in the pre point '0
Date/time formatting' in the abstract event handler function.
