Using Comma
Before displaying any numeric data on screen WinSQL asks the ODBC
driver to convert it into a character value. It is important to know
that this conversion is done by the ODBC driver and therefore, there is
no setting in WinSQL that can affect this format.
You will see a comma as a decimal separator if the locale on
your machine is set to a country that uses a comma to separate the
decimal part of a number.
IBM's CLI library offers a way to change this behaviour. To
force the ODBC driver to use a period instead of a comma, edit the
db2cli.ini, which by default is located in C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB.
Add the following line in the section pertaining to your database.
Patch2=15
