Remarks

Utilities.DecimalSeparator is obsolete and supported only for backward compatibility. To get or set the decimal separator, use aqEnvironment.GetLocaleInfo and aqEnvironment.SetLocaleInfo with LOCALE_SDECIMAL in the second parameter.

JavaScript, JScript

var dec_separator = aqEnvironment.GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SDECIMAL);
Log.Message(dec_separator);

Python

dec_separator = aqEnvironment.GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SDECIMAL)
Log.Message(dec_separator)

VBScript

dec_separator = aqEnvironment.GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SDECIMAL)
Log.Message dec_separator

DelphiScript

dec_separator := aqEnvironment.GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SDECIMAL);
Log.Message(dec_separator);

C++Script, C#Script

var dec_separator = aqEnvironment["GetLocaleInfo"](LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, LOCALE_SDECIMAL);
Log["Message"](dec_separator);

Or, if you want to convert strings to numbers or numbers to strings using the locale format, use aqConvert.StrToFloat and aqConvert.FloatToStr. These methods use the locale-specific decimal separator.
