When you are generating Java code, the build descriptor option decimalSymbol assigns a character to the Java run-time property vgj.nls.number.decimal, which indicates what character is used as a decimal symbol. If you do not specify the build descriptor option decimalSymbol, the character is determined by the locale associated with the Java run-time property vgj.nls.code.
The build descriptor option decimalSymbol has no effect when you are generating COBOL code. Also, the value can be no more than one character.
