All examples of numbers, formulas, dates and lists in this Help file use the International/English language settings:

Decimal point:

.

Thousand separator:

,

List (formula parameter) separator:

,

Thus, you must enter formulas and numbers as, for example:

=SUM(5589.7, 56.55, field1)

If your Windows language settings change, e.g. the decimal point or the above separators, you'll need to adapt those examples accordingly. If your language settings look like:

Decimal point:

,

Thousand separator:

[space]

List separator:

;

then you need to change the notation to:

=SUM(5589,7; 56,55; field1)

By default, GS-Base uses the current user's Windows system Language/International Settings. You can also override this by choosing the option Settings > Locales > Generic (Fixed), which will cause the International/English settings to be used regardless of the Windows language version.
