StarBasic converts a string representations of a number in a locale
specific way. In other words, in the USA, I expect "12.5" to round to an
integer as 13. In Germany, I expect "12,5" to round to 13. I have a report
of this NOT working on Linux in Germany. I am interested in the results from
 a few different languages, locales, and operating systems. Note that this
works for me with the latest OOo release and the latest LO release candidate
3 on 64-bit Fedora on en-US.

 Dim l As Long
 Dim d As Double
 l = CLng("12.5") : Print l  ' Expect 13 in en-US
 l = CLng("12,5") : Print l
 d = cdbl("12.5") : Print d
 d = cdbl("12,5") : Print d

Based on responses, I will open a bug report

Running the test with Danish (da) locale confirms. The result is 12, 12, 125
and 12. We use ccomma (",") as decimal separator as in German locale.

I'm using Linux with LibreOffice 3.4.1 (OOO340m1 (Build:101)).

I hope this can help.

There is a bug in which cdbl truncates the result if the decimal
separator is not a period. It was discussed here some time ago, see

  http://mid.gmane.org/BANLkTinmR6KNBjzBchS_TwiiHM=CFxHVzw@mail.gmail.com

and the bug report in OOo bugzilla

  http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=70236

I don't know if there's already a report in LibO bugzilla.
