Issue with StringToNumber function depending on locale

When the function StringToNumber is used, the TM1 process uses the client's locale/language to set the decimal and thousand separators when the client creates a process.

After a process is created the decimal and thousand separators will not change, so the decimal and thousand separators will be set to the locale of the client that created the process.

So, when an end-user, with different locale, launches the process, the function StringToNumber does not recognize the decimal and thousand separators. So, we get a wrong amount.

For example, in English the decimal is a period (.) whereas in French is a comma (,).

This is a big issue for companies that use the TM1 tool from different countries.

And it is not possible to use the function StringToNumberEx as the decimal and thousand separators can be different depending on the country.
