Locale
The Locale option specifies the locale to be used for cultural environment-dependent presentation.
The locale name that is specified can be one of those supplied with z/OS® C/C++ for the setlocale() runtime function. For a list of locale names, see z/OS® C/C++ Programming Guide, "Appendix D. Locales Supplied with z/OS® C/C++".
Specifying the NoLocale option is the equivalent to specifying Locale(C).
The following are affected by the Locale option:
- IPVLANGP source code comments
- Characters in source code comments which are considered non-printable given the current locale are shown as periods.
- Fault Analyzer for z/OS®
- Affected are things like date and time formatting, collating sequences
of sorted information, and determination of non-printable characters
which are shown as periods. Note: If used, the equivalent Fault Analyzer for z/OS® Locale option overrides the IPVCNF00 Locale option specification.
