HP Transact Reference Manual

Numeric Input 

For each language, when processing numeric data items for input, the
characters used for the thousand's indicator and the decimal indicator
are ignored--provided they are not one of the two field delimiter
characters (, and =) defined for Transact for use with command sequences.
If the character used for an indicator is one of the field delimiters,
such as for NATIVE-3000, where the thousand's indicator of comma (,) is
also a default field delimiter, then you must specify another delimiter
with a SET(DELIMITER) statement.  See Chapter 8 for more information on
the SET(DELIMITER) statement.
