Hi

You can follow the below steps:

  1. Convert a variable to string using toString() method
  2. Apply String function calls to replace (.) with (:)

Please find below links if it can help:

Converting to a String is locale dependent, so it can vary depending what language you are using.  Be careful when using string manipulation.

You could drop into a Java Action where you pass in a Decimal and return a String. Example code to do this and forcing the decimal separator to be ‘:’ would look like this…
 

// BEGIN USER CODE
DecimalFormatSymbols symbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
symbols.setDecimalSeparator(':');
DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("0.00", symbols);
return format.format(this.param1);
// END USER CODE


Hope this helps.
