staticNumericChars

System scope only

This configuration variable determines when Tango Server checks for changes to the configuration variables that determine the thousands, decimal, and currency characters used for numerical evaluation.

The default value of TRUE means Tango Server obtains these characters from the thousandsChar, decimalChar, and currencyChar configuration variables at the beginning of each application file execution only. Any changes to the user, domain, and system scope variables take effect with the next application file execution. Local scope for these configuration variables is never used when staticNumericChars has the value TRUE.

When staticNumericChars has the value FALSE, any changes to the thousandsChar, decimalChar, and currencyChar configuration variables in any scope take effect immediately.

Tip: There is a significant performance benefit to a setting of TRUE for this configuration variable. Use a setting of FALSE only if you must support different numeric formats over the course of a single application file execution.
