8.5.2 FP3 iNotes issue - maybe a i18n issue with number formatting
I've said this time and again on various mediums lately but I have yet to see the now famous 8.5.2 FP3 iNotes formula error:
At first I though it was because I was using the English as my language, but that was not the case as several on Twitter had the issue but were using English. Well I was close but no cigar. Based on this technote it looks like the issue maybe with locales that use a period or full stop (.) as the thousands separator maybe causing the issue. For some (according to the TN) changing the separator to a comma (,) may have fixed the issue.
As usual YMMV.
Oh and keep an eye on that TN as it will be updated with further information (hint, a fix) as it becomes available.

take only the forms85.nsf from
Interim Fix 401.8HF6 for iNotes 8.5.2 Fix Pack 2

PS.: no responsibility is taken for the correctness of this information.
If you’re planning on installing fixpack 3 on a server that’s also used for iNotes, make sure you test that functionality before rolling it out to your users!
... and I can absolutely not understand, why this issue occurs again in the 8.5.2 codestream. Do the teams not talk to each other ?
I spent 3 weeks with several developers to locate the error in the forms85.nsf in 8.5.3 CD3.
