LOCALEDITS
Along with the selections from Table 4-2. and Table 4-3. you may specify the number of
decimal digits (DEC_DIGITS
n ) and select a decimal format (DEC_TYPE_US or
DEC_TYPE_EUR). (Note that the DEC_DIGITS
n setting may only be used with IMP_DEC or
IMP_DEC_FILL edits.) Unlike other edits, DEC_DIGITS and DEC_TYPE edits are global
terminal configurations that remain in effect until they are reset by another DEC_TYPE or
DEC_DIGIT edit. Please note that VOPENTERM and VCLOSETERM do not reconfigure
DEC_DIGIT and DEC_TYPE; these settings may carry over from one application to the next.
