#pragma mode inquiry revisited

[Liamtoh Resu]

Is the use of the #pragma mode line going to be depreciated or be restricted
to a certain set of programmers?

I have done more research on the #pragma mode and the information is
obscure at best.

There have been formatting, precision, country codes available for cobol,
fortran, basic, c,... etc available for some time.

The following is the most recent research.

Insert pragma: tap this option to paste a #pragma mode definition into your program. The #pragma
mode definition is of the following form:
#pragma mode( separator(), integer())

Use the #pragma mode definition to define the set of separators used for digit grouping and the integer
type. The #pragma mode definition will force the program to compile using these settings. This capability
is useful for adapting a program written for a culture that uses different grouping symbols (. vs. ,) than
your own.
