Open Client and Open Server use environment variables to determine which locale name to look for in locales.dat. When setting up initial localization values, Open Client and Open Server search for the following environment variables:
LC_ALL
LANG, if LC_ALL is not set
When setting up custom localization values, Open Client and Open Server may also search for one or more of the following environment variables:
LC_ALL
LC_COLLATE
LC_TYPE
LC_MESSAGE
LC_TIME
See the Open Client and Open Server International Developers Guide for more information about what environment variables an application uses during custom localization.
See Appendix A, “Environment Variables,” for reference information about the environment variables listed above.
Before running a localized application:
Make sure the locales.dat file contains an entry which reflects the localization values the application will use. If it does not, add an appropriate entry.
Make sure that the localization files that your application will use are installed:
Localized message files are located in the %SYBASE%\locales\message directory.
Collating sequence files are located in the %SYBASE%\charsets directory.
Open Client and Open Server products come with the localization files to support one language, and one or more character sets and sort orders.
