Language Considerations

When you generate COBOL on a Windows machine running in the Turkish locale, no output is created. You can develop EGL applications that run in Turkish by following these steps:
  1. Set your Windows locale to English.
  2. Set file encoding to Turkish by starting the Eclipse IDE with the following VM arguments:
    • VMArgs=-Dfile.encoding=Cp1254
    • VMArgs=-Dibm.system.encoding=Cp1254
    You can set these values in the rationalsdp.ini file found in the product installation directory.
