I'm not sure why you're asking this question on SAS-L, but the quick
answer is "Africa is not a country.  Africa is a continent."  Different
languages are spoken in different countries.

The representation of numbers varies by language and country.  It is
not uncommon for the decimal place to be represented by a comma instead
of a period.  In SAS, that's handled by National Language Support
(system options, format names, various other stuff).

I am finding a university with reasonable tuition fee to study PhD. I
am thinking about a university in Africa but I am not familiar with
the currency. Could you help me??
From
http://www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?Cmd=ViewContent&ContentID=14802#b2
eg.
R1 000,00=US?? There is a comma in the second last digit. Should it be
a 'dot'??

By the way, what is the first language in Africa?? Is it English??

Thanks,
Chris
