# DC - Character for Decimal Point Notation

This Natural profile and session parameter determines the character to be used as decimal separator, that is, a point or a comma.

Possible settings | any character (except numeric characters) | You specify the `DC` parameter as `DC='c'` where c represents the character to be used as decimal separator. The character specified with the `DC` parameter must not be the same as the one specified with the `IA` (input assign character) or `ID` (input delimiter character) parameter. In addition, we recommend that this character is not the same as the one specified with the `CF` (control character for terminal commands) or `HI` (help character) parameter.
Default setting | `.` (period) |
Dynamic specification | yes |
Specification within session | yes | Applicable statements: | `SET GLOBALS` | Parameter is evaluated at runtime.
Applicable command: | `GLOBALS` | Parameter may be specified dynamically with the `GLOBALS` system command.
Application programming interface | `USR0350N`, `USR1005N` * | See SYSEXT - Natural Application Programming Interfaces in the Utilities documentation. * Recommended.

Notes:

1. Within a Natural session, the profile parameter `DC` can be overridden by the session parameter `DC`.
2. Under Natural Security, the setting of this parameter can be overridden by the Session Parameters option of the Library Profile.
