BO 6.1 replaces decimal points with commas in the query

We recently upgraded from 5.1.3 to 6.1b.

The issue is that when a condition is set on any numeric object (dimension, detail, measure), if the number contains a decimal point then it’s converted to a comma instead.

I checked my Regional settings and they’re OK.

This does not happen if I use the old version of BO.

There are some formating issues with 6.1b.

Are you using the report that was already built in older version or are you creating a new report from scracth. Make sure you have the hotfix 074 installed on the server as well as client machine.

It happens on every document. Both, old and new.

I have exactly the same problem in 6.1.3. Still no solution in sight.

Have you tried to change the regional settings of your “Windows”?
I had some problem of the same kind with BO 6.5, but I don’t know about BO 6.1

What is the Language version of your BO Installation ?

did you check the parameter in your Universe? each universeconnection has it’s own parameter tab in Version 6 … and I had customers with settings that changed the decimals for their oracle universes there…
I bet that’s the issue here…

we changed designer universecon param: DECIMAL_COMMA to NO

wobi… i think I got the flu… brrh…
