numeric_to_number() function skipping some digits

Hi,<br /><br />With PG84, I have tried something like this which seem incorrect to me.<br /><br /># SELECT '' AS
to_number_2, to_number('-347,58', '99G999');<br /> to_number_2 | to_number <br />-------------+-----------<br />
            |     -3458<br />(1 row)<br /><br />After browsing the code (numeric_to_number), I have found that number
stringis processed according to the number format. Which means, when 'G' is found in the format we have moved the
numberpointer to next character. This is why the digit '7' is skipped. And while processing ',', as it is not a digit
itis ignored.<br /><br />Is this expected behaviour? or a bug?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />-- <br />Jeevan B Chalke<br
