Is this a bug?(error using numbers containing . in QM 2.2.0)

[Gintaras]

I found the reason. Some dll (maybe database components) running in QM context sets French locale for msvcrt.dll. QM string-to-number functions depend on it (starting from some QM 2.2.0.x version). They fail to convert numbers containing . if French locale is set.

In the next version, I'll make QM independent from such changes.

I recommend to do the following (until next QM version will be released):

Create function RestoreNumericLocale and paste this code:

Code:

Copy      Help

setlocale LC_NUMERIC "C" ;;restore default numeric locale

At the beginning of the macro that you think is changing locale insert

Code:

Copy      Help

atend RestoreNumericLocale

---

To view current locale settings, can be used this code:

Code:

Copy      Help

out setlocale(LC_ALL 0)

Normally (soon after QM starts) it should display something like

LC_COLLATE=French_France.1252;LC_CTYPE=French_France.1252;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=French_France.1252

You can execute this code to discover which macro changes default locale.
