    You can run the command

    set decimal dot.

    Alternatively, you could set your locale to US English.

    I have changed the Locale to US but now I want to go back to Spanish to use decimal to comma.
    How can I go back?

    Thanks

    You can go to Edit > Options > Language and choose Spanish.  All datasets must be closed to change the locale.  In syntax you can use SET LOCALE.

    There is also the SET DECIMAL command.
