Hi, I run a european version Windows where the Decimal sign is a comma instead of a dot (and the dot is a comma, it's switched around)

So if for example if I write a PCF c/c1 > 1.02 it actually changes the 1.02 to 102.

I have changed the numbers setting within Windows itself and now it works, but it means my whole PC now runs on US decimal settings (which is not too good for other applications eg. Excel).

Is there a workaround within the PFC language or TC2000 ?   If I use a comma as in "1,02" it gives me an unexpected comma error.

Hoping you can help, thank you.

Martin

The only workaround I have at the moment would be to re-write the PCF to not use any decimal markers.

100 * C > 102 * C1

You could also use the slightly shorter version below.

50 * C > 51 * C1

That's a great idea, hadn't thought of that.  Thank you!
