Process decimal values with different regional settings

When importing/processing decimal values, the decimal separator is . or , according to the regional setting. Assuming you want to import decimal values with US Standard regional setting, then the separator is a point (.).

To process such decimal values, you can work with the NAV Command GLOBALLANGUAGE. That is the in NAV at runtime used language.

impValue := 0.25;
impValStr := format(impValue);

// check for GER and FR language
if (GLOBALLANGUAGE = 1031) OR (GLOBALLANGUAGE = 1036) then
  impValStr := Convertstr(impValStr,'.'','); // replaces the point by a comma

Additional you can use the Command WINDOWSLANGUAGE. This command returns the regional system setting (the language of the OS). In common with that command you can handle every case.
