DECIMALCHAR

(Read-only) The DECIMALCHAR option is the value specified for the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS option.

DECIMALCHAR only affects the way Oracle OLAP formats numbers in output. When you format numbers for input, use a period (.) for the decimal marker. To use a different decimal marker, enclose the value in single quotes and use the TO_NUMBER function to convert the value from text to a valid number.
