[fdo-users] FDO SHP + dotNet help : managing the decimal separator

[Dan Stoica]

The LDID indicates ANSI. This is good...

I remember some discussions around decimals and I think it has been decided that setting the locale in the provider is not the way to go. The thing is SHP is self-contained when comes to localization (through LDID and CPG mechanishms). That is, it should be immune to any setlocale().

Unfortunately, you are right, this doesn't apply to decimals since atof() and sprintf() are used. I'll file a ticket in this regard to be fixed in 3.3.

I have an idea how to fix it without setting the locale in provider, but first I would like to know why it doesn't work when your application is setting the LC_NUMERIC to English... Because this would fix your particular problem in short term.

Dan.

My LDID is 0x57 and I have no CPG file.
What should I have ?

Thank you for your answer as this is a real trouble for me.
