Number format - decimal character

Description

Specify the decimal character (specify the actual character or the special symbols, 'period' or 'comma') that will be used on the client side when entering numbers. You can set this dynamically by setting this session variable: __protected__clientSideDecimalCharacter.

The Number format - decimal character property controls both how numbers are displayed and how users must enter numeric values on the client side. In prior versions, this property only controlled how users had to enter numbers. The display format and the required input format are now both driven by the same decimal character setting.
