HELP: Defines the locale for interpreting numbers TYPE: STRING SYNTAX: LOCALE='str'
The format of numbers depends on the system locale for numerical values. Depending on the environment variable LC_NUMERIC, the decimal mark is either a point or comma. The locale for processing numbers can be overridden temporarily through the 'locale' parameter for correct interpretation of the decimal mark. The default decimal mark is system-dependent.
LOCALE='C' (decimal point) LOCALE='de_DE.IBM1141' (decimal comma)
