solaris appl migration: sprintf decimal separator
Hi,

I am trying to migrate an application from Solaris to AIX 5.3.1. In both platforms the locale settings are as follows:

Result of executing "locale"
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"

In solaris when you execute this program (this is a sample, in the original code there are lots of classes but at the end they call sprintf function to fill a char[] variable):

Code:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    char cadena[25];
    double a = 0;

    memset(cadena,0,sizeof(cadena));

    sprintf(cadena, "%-f", a);
    printf("The content is : %s\n", cadena);
}

In AIX I am compiling this code (main.cpp) with:

IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition for AIX, V9.0
Version: 09.00.0000.0007


In solaris the output is :

0,000000 -> with a comma separator

But in AIX when I try to execute this, the result is:

0.000000 -> with a point separator

I am trying to migrate the code having in mind the idea of not touching the original code. Any idea?,

Thank you in advance for your attention and time.
David

locale.conf

LOCALE.CONF(5)							    locale.conf 						    LOCALE.CONF(5)

NAME

       locale.conf - configuration file for locale settings

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/locale.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/locale.conf file configures system-wide locale settings.

       The basic file format of locale.conf is a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is possible
       to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported, allowing
       applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.

       Note that the kernel command line options locale.LANG=, locale.LANGUAGE=, locale.LC_CTYPE=, locale.LC_NUMERIC=, locale.LC_TIME=,
       locale.LC_COLLATE=, locale.LC_MONETARY=, locale.LC_MESSAGES=, locale.LC_PAPER=, locale.LC_NAME=, locale.LC_ADDRESS=, locale.LC_TELEPHONE=,
       locale.LC_MEASUREMENT=, locale.LC_IDENTIFICATION= may be used to override the locale settings at boot.

       The locale settings configured in /etc/locale.conf are system-wide and are inherited by every service or user, unless overridden or unset
       by individual programs or individual users.

       Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for locale configuration as well, however only as fallback.

OPTIONS

       The following locale settings may be set using /etc/locale.conf: LANG=, LANGUAGE=, LC_CTYPE=, LC_NUMERIC=, LC_TIME=, LC_COLLATE=,
       LC_MONETARY=, LC_MESSAGES=, LC_PAPER=, LC_NAME=, LC_ADDRESS=, LC_TELEPHONE=, LC_MEASUREMENT=, LC_IDENTIFICATION=. Note that LC_ALL may not
       be be configured in this file. For details about the meaning and semantics of these settings, refer to locale(7).

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. German locale with English messages

       /etc/locale.conf:

	   LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
	   LC_MESSAGES=C
