Hiya list. It has been a while since I have written here so when I came
across this issue I could not resolve I thought I would throw it into the
mix here. The issue is that we recently implemented JDE into a number of
European countries and in some of the countries, they use the comma as their
decimal symbol. Although this is easy to change on both the user profile in
JDE and in Windows (through reginal settings), we cannot get the keyboard's
numeric keypad to map to a comma.
From extensively troubleshooting it, it looks like it is a Windows/JDE
problem. The JDE application does not look at registry settings in regards
to the mappings of the keyboard. IE, if you change your keyboard setting to
another language, JDE does not interpret the keys differently. JDE is not
alone, though..as some of Microsoft's own programs operate differently. An
example is if you set the keyboard to Italian, in Word and wordpad the
keypad's decimal is still a dot, while in the calculator and Excel, it is
interpreted as a comma.
There was a JDE sar (280300) for this exact issue, but it was closed as a
'reconsider in future'. Does anyone out there have this issue and a
workaround? I know it seems silly, but for users who are number crunching
and entering hundreds of lines, a changed key really lowers their
productivity.
Thanks and regards,
John
