> ## Thousands Separator (-numsep)

> Use Thousands Separator (`-numsep`) to change the character that represents a number’s thousands separator in formatted text.

> Operating system and syntax | UNIX Windows | `-numsep` `numeric-value`
> Use with | Maximum value | Minimum value | Single-user default | Multi-user default
> Client Session | – | – | , (comma) | , (comma)

> ``numeric-value``

> The numeric value of the character that represents the thousands separator.

> Progress converts `numeric-value` to its character equivalent using the code page corresponding to the Internal Code Page (-cpinternal) startup parameter.

> The thousands separator cannot be represented by any of the following:

> - The characters `B C D R Z z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + - < > ( ) * ?`

> - Any multi-byte character.

> Note: You can represent the thousands separator with the space character.

> As an example, to change the thousands separator in formatted text to an apostrophe (whose numeric value in the ISO8859-1 code page is 39), use:

>     -numsep 39

> The default thousands separator is the comma (`,`).
