Defining custom localization values for a connection

1

Call cs_loc_alloc.

Allocate a CS_LOCALE structure.

This call copies the parent context’s current localization information into the CS_LOCALE structure.

2

Call cs_locale.

Overwrite the CS_LOCALE structure with custom localization values.

For more information about this process, see “The cs_locale routine”.

3

Optionally, call cs_dt_info.

Change datetime conversion formats in the CS_LOCALE structure.

For more information about cs_dt_info, see the Open Client and Open Server Common Libraries Reference Manual.

4

Call ct_con_props with property as CS_LOC_PROP.

Customize a connection.

Note that CS_LOC_PROP is a login property. An application cannot change its value after a connection is open.

If an application sends a request to the server to change the language or character for the connection after the connection is open, the change will not be reflected in the value of CS_LOC_PROP. If the application calls ct_con_props to retrieve the value of CS_LOC_PROP, the retrieved locale structure will not contain the connection’s current localization values.

5

Optionally, call cs_loc_drop.

Deallocate the CS_LOCALE structure.

An application can reuse the CS_LOCALE structure before deallocating it.

If necessary, the application can call cs_locale to change the localization values in the structure before reusing it.
