ACS RunSQL decimal seperator

In ACS (run SQL) a SELECT from a table containing numeric fields displays the values different as in "Green Screen" sql.
The difference is the decimal seperator. In Green-Screen it is a Comma (on german language systems) in ACS-Run SQL it is a period.
The solution is - display the decimal seperator in run sql in the same way as in green screen sql. (see attached example)

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

    if I change decimal separators in the JDBC configuration, I'm not able to create sql-scripts anymore. all created views does not work with this setting. so I have alway to change this if I create a view or if I make a select statement.
    we need an option that the decimal operator is changed only in output results.

    IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.

    Set your preference of decimal separators in the JDBC configuration option under the connection menu option. With ACS 1.1.6.x you can save different JDBC set ups.

    In the Run SQL Scripts, have you looked at the Connection menu for "Edit JDBC Configuration - Default.jdbc"? On the Format tab you can set the separator value.
