CS_LOC_PROP defines a CS_LOCALE structure that contains localization values. Localization values include a language, a character set, datetime formats, and a collating sequence.
An application calls ct_con_props to set or retrieve CS_LOC_PROP at the connection level.
When setting CS_LOC_PROP, an application passes ct_con_props a CS_LOCALE structure. ct_con_props copies information from the CS_LOCALE and stores it internally. After calling ct_con_props, the application deallocates the CS_LOCALE.
When retrieving CS_LOC_PROP, an application passes ct_con_props a CS_LOCALE structure. ct_con_props copies current localization information into this CS_LOCALE.
An application calls cs_loc_alloc to allocate a CS_LOCALE structure.
An application calls cs_config to set or retrieve CS_LOC_PROP at the context level.
If an application does not call cs_config to define localization information for a context, the context uses default localization values that are assigned at allocation time. On most platforms, environment variables determine the default values. For specific information about how default localization values are assigned on your platform, see the Open Client and Open Server Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows or Open Client and Open Server Configuration Guide for UNIX.
