how does the Profound UI handle different national/cultural issuses? i.e the calendar week starts in europe with monday or that the national display format of amounts has an other decimal notation?

thanks for your help

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?

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.
