Dates and Numeric Values Not Formatted as Expected

Data formats depend on the locale configuration settings for your IBM Cognos Series 7 product. By default, IBM Cognos Series 7 server products and IBM Cognos Impromptu use a data format configuration file named cerlocale.xml. IBM Cognos Visualizer, IBM Cognos PowerPlay for Windows, and IBM Cognos Transformer use Windows Regional Settings for locale settings and data format information. However, these products can also be configured to use the data format configuration file.

For information about managing data formats, copying data format information, or editing the data format configuration file, see the Configuration Manager User Guide, or contact your administrator.
