API/ BASIC [ ] Configuration [ ] File format change [ ] Help/ Guide [ ] Performance test [ ] Translation [ ] UI relevant [ ] Description function GetDecimalSeperator (optional String) as String Input: Number with fractionmark from 'NumericField' as String Output: '.' or ',' as string This function is being used in CALC and WRITER module - but in five different versions and  function names. WRITER has more thane one unique function for it. This function will be enhanced to GRAPHICS and all similar functions in WRITER and CALC will be exchanged with it. The function will read in 'Tools' / 'Options' / <Application> / 'General' the tabulator space setting - which includes a number with a comma or a dot. This will be returned and can be used e.g. for <object>.settext commands where numbers with comma or dot have to be used. OPTIONAL you can put a string (e.g. a value of a field which you have just read out) into the function and it will return a dor or a comma and you know what the string-value has used as a decimal seperator. With putting this function to the GLOBAL module we have to maintain one function in one module and not five in two.
