The DECIMAL specifier asks which decimal editing mode is in effect for a file connection. It takes the following form:

DECIMAL = dmode

dmode | Is a scalar default character variable that is assigned one of the following values:
'COMMA' | If a decimal comma is used during decimal editing mode.
'POINT' | If a decimal point is used during decimal editing mode.
'UNDEFINED' | If there is no connection or if the connection is not for formatted I/O.
