Profound UI reads IBM i's system values to determine default currency symbol, date formatting, date separator, time separator, etc. In addition, the date/time formatting section of the binding dialog has a Locale property that can be set.

Alex, thank you for the fast answer.
So Profound UI uses the sysvals like QCURSYM, QDATFMT, QDATSEP, QDECFMT and QTIMSEP and not LOCALE and SETJOBATR parameter values specified on the user profile?

Re: Globalization:a question to date format and decimal notation
Profound UI does not look at locales or user profile values. The date/time and decimal formatting values come from the current attributes of the job the application is running in. These in turn come from the system values you mention when the job is created.
