I am working with RPG/400 on a V3R1M0 and have following problem:
Usually our edit format for numeric fields is comma for decimal
seperator (111.111,00) now we have a new customer who wants a point
(111,111.00). Do I have to define every output-field twice (al lot of
maintenance) or does anybody know something better. Maybe there is a way
to control the edit format in the program? Please let me know. Thanks,
Jasmin.

Any idea how I can solve this problem??? - Thanks Jasmin

How about a RTVSYSVAL and using the EDTWRD BIF in an ILE-RPG EVAL
statement?

I had a similar problem some time ago. It turned out to be editing that
someone has put in the DDS of the PF that I was referencing for field
attributes. This could be happening because of edit words or edit codes
used in your Printer-File-DDS or edit words or edit codes used in the file
that you referenced from your Printer-File-DDS.

I tried to change the system value for decimal seperator from comma to
point - so now I have to input a point but it still showes me a comma in
the output because the sysval is used during the compaliation of the dspf -
not during the runtime - has anybody an idea how I can change the edit
format during the runtime ????? - thanks jasmin

I am not able to find the original question, and so this response may
not be "on target"; but one of the V4R2 National Language Support
enhancements is the ability to now resolve the decimal format at
runtime for *DSPF, *PRTF, and *PNLGRP. In previous releases standard
system support for decimal format determination was limited to compile
time (for *DSPF and *PRTF).
