will this always return the current system decimal separator? (SOLVED)
I am not aware of a built-in "get the current decimal separator" function and I needed one because I have a program in which the system calls usually deliver "0." but ocassionally return "0".

So, I needed to find out whether to add a "." or a ",".

This seems to work - but could there be a "fix 0" mode which might hide the separator?
Code:

 EXPORT DecSepNow()
 //RETURN current system decimal separator
 BEGIN
  LOCAL ST:=STRING(π);//ANY REAL
  LOCAL DOT:=INSTRING(ST,".");
  LOCAL COM:=INSTRING(ST,",");
 
  RETURN MID(ST,MAX(DOT,COM),1);
 END;
Or is there a better way?
