Ciao,
i'm working for manage some write - read data ( MANumberDescription
/ MAScaledDecimalDescription / SIXX interchange data ) about
Number and is subclass.
I see some codes into Kernel-Numbers and i found it don't reference the
Locale decimalPoint.
The codes directly define the $. when reference the decimal.
Now if i have setup the Locale decimalPoint to $, the
SIXX write data with $.
After if i read this sixx data into another environment ( for example
Gemstone ) where i setup Locale decimalPoint to $,
the system can't generate right Numbers.
Another problem is relative to the Number
readFrom: stringOrStream
"Answer a decimal number as described on stringOrStream.
The number may not include a leading radix specification, as in 16rFADE,
nor an exponent like 1.0e-3
It might have a scale specification at end or not like 10.3s2
If not, number of digits after decimal point will be used as scale"
^(SqNumberParser on: stringOrStream) next...........
because also the SqNumberParser don't reference the Locale
decimalPoint.
In this case if in my application i need to use the $, as decimalPoint
( and i use it in the Seaside TextInput )
follow stringOrStream is based on $, ( for example '123,89'
) as result SqNumberParser can't generate right numbers.
Before begin to do some change i'm interested to know some other think
about this problematic
and if someone working around it.
Thanks for any consideration,
Dario
