A CS_LOCALE, or locale structure, can be used to specify localization information at the context, connection, command structure, or data element levels.
A CS_LOCALE structure specifies:
A language, character set, and collating sequence
How to represent dates, times, numeric, and monetary values in character format
An application can call the CS-Library routines cs_loc_alloc, cs_locale, and cs_loc_drop to allocate, set values for, and drop a CS_LOCALE structure.
For more information, see the “International Support” topics page in the Open Client Client-Library/C Reference Manual.
