The following table describes how to define custom localization values at the context level:
Step |
Application step |
Purpose |
Details |
|---|---|---|---|
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”. Open Server applications must call cs_locale with type as CS_LC_ALL. This ensures that Server-Library loads the CS_LOCALE structure with localization values that are internally consistent. |
3 |
Optionally, call cs_dt_info. |
Change datetime conversion formats in the CS_LOCALE. |
For more information about cs_dt_info, see the Open Client and Open Server Common Libraries Reference Manual. |
4 |
Call cs_config with property as CS_LOC_PROP. |
Customize a context. |
|
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. |
