ILE COBOL Language Reference
+-------------------------------IBM Extension--------------------------------+
The LOCALE clause is used to define locale mnemonic names and their OS/400
equivalent locale object name and library.
LOCALE Clause - Format
>>-LOCALE--+-locale-name-1-----------------------------+-------->
'-literal-4--+----------------------------+-'
'-+----+--LIBRARY--literal-5-'
'-IN-'
>--+----+--mnemonic-name-5-------------------------------------><
'-IS-'
- locale-name-1
- Specifies a system-specific name that refers to a locale object.
For ILE COBOL, the only supported locale-name-1 is POSIX.
- literal-4
- Literal-4 must be a locale object name. It must be a nonnumeric
literal with a maximum length of 10 characters.
- literal-5
- Literal-5 is used to specify the name of the operating system library in
which the locale object is to be found. It must be an nonnumeric
literal with a maximum length of 10 characters. The special value *LIBL
(search using the job's library list) may be specified. If the
LIBRARY phrase is omitted , the job's library list is used to search for
the locale object.
- mnemonic-name-5
- Mnemonic-name-5 provides a reference to the locale identified by
locale-name-1 or the values specified for literal-4 and literal-5. It
can only be used in a FORMAT clause, PICTURE clause, Format 8 of the SET
statement, or in the argument list of some intrinsic functions.
