SQL Option - DECDEL

Eliminates the need for OpenESQL to call the Windows API routine GetLocaleInfo for any variable that would store decimal data. This routine is called every time the variable is accessed to return the decimal delimiter used.

Syntax:
>>-.----.--DECDEL=---delimiter_type--------------><
   +-NO-+
Parameters:
delimiter_type One of:
PERIOD use a period as a decimal delimiter
COMMA use a comma as a decimal delimiter
LOCAL call the GetLocaleInfo routine only once to get the decimal delimiter
Properties:
Default: NODECDEL
Comments:

Set this directive if your application references a large number of decimal variables and you want to reduce the overhead of calling the same routine repeatedly.
