Hi,
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>
thanks
