Re: Decimal separator and 4GL_NUMERIC

That these are making no difference has me worried - are you sure they
are not set somewhere else ?

If you try :

$ aubit-config A4GL_NUMERIC
What does that say ?

To make absolutely sure - set it in the environment :

$ export A4GL_NUMERIC=,.

(I'm not sure ALLOWCOMMAINDECIMAL does anything any more - at least -
I cant see it in the code)
