[Gretl-devel] Re: intended effect of 'set force_decpoint off' ?

I'm observing the following behavior on a German system, but running gretl without the local dec sep setting, i.e. not using the comma. <gretl-console> ? = 1.6 1.6 ? set force_decpoint off ? = 1.6 1,6 </gretl-console> The first thing is OK, gretl showing in response that it's using the point (period) for display. After setting force_decpoint to off, gretl is then using the comma. The background is that this is screwing up some code. I'm having a deja-vu about this: But I believe that our conclusion in a previous discussion was that if I don't want to _force_ the decimal point any longer, then I want to revert to the current setting as governed by the user preferences, _not_ to use the default language setting. In my case, continue to use the point. So, has this behavior crept back in? This is with the snapshot from Aug 5th (standard, GTK2) on Windows. Oh, and here's another interesting printout, coming from gretlcli.exe: <gretlcli> ? =1.6 1.6 ? set force_decpoint off ? = 1.6 1 </gretlcli>
