I need to add a Chile environment on our AS/400.

The problem we have is that the numbers in Chile need to be formatted
differently then in the US.

In Chile they switch the '.' and ',' in numbers so that the '.' is the
thousand separator and '.' marks the beginning of the decimal portion of
numbers.

For example 1,234.56 in US would be 1.234,56 in Chile.



Does anyone know of an easy way to handle these changes?



Thanks,

Bob Kohlndorfer
