THSEP - Dynamic Thousands Separator

This Natural profile parameter is used to enable or disable the use of dynamic thousands separators in edit masks at compilation time.

Possible settings	`ON`	Dynamic thousands separators are used. Note: Every dynamic thousands separator that is not part of a string literal is replaced at runtime with the thousands separator character defined with `THSEPCH`.
Possible settings	`OFF`	Dynamic thousands separators are not used. Note: Thousands separators in the edit mask are treated as literal and displayed unchanged at runtime. This is the compatibility setting.
Default setting	`OFF`
Dynamic specification	yes
Specification within session	yes
Applicable statements	`OPTIONS`
Applicable command	`THSEP`	Option of system command `COMPOPT`.

Notes:

At runtime the dynamic thousands separators are replaced by the value (thousands separator character) of the profile and session parameter THSEPCH.
In the Natural source, the dynamic thousands separator is either a comma (,) or a period (,), depending on the current setting of the profile and session parameter DC (decimal character). If a comma is specified, then the dynamic thousands separator is a period, otherwise it is a comma.
Fields in Unicode format should not be redefined as alphanumeric (A) or numeric (N) fields.
