[rrd-users] CDEF,RPN, no decimal constant possible?

You didn't say which version of RRDTool you're using; I'm assuming 1.4.x

The RPN parsing happens in rrd_rpncalc.c in function rpn_parse() (called by
parseCDEF_DS())

This explicitly sets locale to be "C"; then it tries to use sscanf with
"%lf" which should correctly read in a decimal, regardless of your current
locale using commas as a decimal separator or not.

I know I've successfully used decimals in a CDEF previously, and as far as I
can tell, the COMPUTE DS uses the same parsing function.  Which version of
RRDTool are you using?  Possibly it is an older one (I think COMPUTE
appeared in v1.2 back in 2001, but not sure about decimals in RPN)
