<div class="section" id="rbagslocalecatdetail__HDRLOCALECATDETAIL"><a name="rbagslocalecatdetail__HDRLOCALECATDETAIL"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Locale category source definitions:</h4><p>The
|
||
|
|
category source definition consists of:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>The category header (<var class="varname">category name</var>), where the category
|
||
|
|
name must be all uppercase characters.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The associated keyword/value pairs that comprise the category body. Keywords
|
||
|
|
can be all uppercase, all lowercase, or mixed case characters.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The category trailer (which consists of END <var class="varname">category-name</var>)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><span class="uicontrol">LC_CTYPE</span>
|
||
|
|
<var class="varname">source for LC_CTYPE category</var>
|
||
|
|
<span class="uicontrol">END LC_CTYPE</span></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Lines preceding
|
||
|
|
the first category header can be used to change the comment character and
|
||
|
|
the escape character. The comment_char (the default is #) and escape_char
|
||
|
|
(the default is \) keywords can be used to change these characters. The following
|
||
|
|
example shows how to change the comment character and escape character to
|
||
|
|
* and / :</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>comment_char <asterisk>
|
||
|
|
escape_char <slash></pre>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This example uses symbolic names
|
||
|
|
to represent the '*' and '/' characters.</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>The source for all categories
|
||
|
|
is specified using the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Keywords</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Each keyword identifies either a definition or a rule. The remainder of
|
||
|
|
the statement containing the keyword contains the operands to the keyword.
|
||
|
|
Operands are separated from the keyword by one or more blank characters. A
|
||
|
|
statement may be continued on the next line by placing an escape_char as the
|
||
|
|
last character before the newline or linefeed character that ends the line. <p>Lines
|
||
|
|
containing the comment_char in the first column are treated as comment lines.
|
||
|
|
Comment lines cannot be continued on a subsequent line using an escape character.
|
||
|
|
\ is the default escape character. However, the escape character can be defined
|
||
|
|
to be any character by the user.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Strings</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Strings must be enclosed in quotation marks. Quotation
|
||
|
|
marks within strings can be represented in two ways: <ul><li>Literally. The escape character can be followed by quotation
|
||
|
|
marks.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>A symbolic name. For example, <quotation-mark>.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>A string can be continued on the next line by placing an escape_char
|
||
|
|
as the last character before the newline or linefeed character that ends the
|
||
|
|
line.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A string is a sequence of character symbols or literals enclosed
|
||
|
|
by quotation ("") characters. For example:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>"<A><B><C>"</pre>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Character literals</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>A character literal is the character itself.</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Character symbols</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>A character symbol begins with the < (less-than) character, followed
|
||
|
|
by non-control characters, and ends with the > (greater-than) character.
|
||
|
|
For example, <A> is a valid character symbol (symbolic name). Any character
|
||
|
|
symbol referenced in the source file should be one of the predefined system-supplied
|
||
|
|
symbols. The system-supplied symbolic names are in the source file member
|
||
|
|
QLGSYMBOL in the QLOCALESRC source file in the optionally installable library
|
||
|
|
QSYSLOCALE. <p>In the event that the system does not contain
|
||
|
|
a predefined symbolic name for a character, the UCS-2 level-1 format is allowed.
|
||
|
|
The UCS-2 format is based on the character set defined in ISO/IEC 10646. The
|
||
|
|
UCS-2 format may also be used in place of the predefined symbolic names. Here
|
||
|
|
is an example of the UCS-2 symbolic name format:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><Uxxxx></pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>where
|
||
|
|
'xxxx' are 4 hexadecimal digits. For example, <U0041>. The hexadecimal
|
||
|
|
number 0041 within this symbolic name is the UCS-2 code point that represents
|
||
|
|
the character 'A'.</p>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each locale category must be explicitly defined in a locale
|
||
|
|
definition source file.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslccollatecategory.htm">LC_COLLATE category</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The LC_COLLATE category defines character or string collation information.
|
||
|
|
Within LC_COLLATE you can specify a sort sequence to use using the cpysyscol
|
||
|
|
keyword. The <dfn class="term">cpysyscol</dfn> keyword value is used in place of the
|
||
|

LC_COLLATE category definitions.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslcctypecategory.htm">LC_CTYPE category</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The LC_CTYPE category defines character classification, case conversion, and other character attributes.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslcmessagescategory.htm">LC_MESSAGES category</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The LC_MESSAGES category of a locale definition source file defines the format for affirmative and negative system responses. This category begins with an LC_MESSAGES category header and ends with an END LC_MESSAGES category trailer.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslcmonetarycategory.htm">LC_MONETARY category</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The LC_MONETARY category of a locale definition source file defines rules and symbols for formatting monetary numeric information. This category begins with an LC_MONETARY category header and ends with an END LC_MONETARY category trailer.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslcnumericcategory.htm">LC_NUMERIC category</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
LC_NUMERIC category of a locale definition source file defines rules and symbols for formatting non-monetary numeric information.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslctimecategory.htm">LC_TIME category</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The LC_TIME category of a locale definition source file defines rules and symbols for formatting time and date information. This category begins with an LC_TIME category header and ends with an END LC_TIME category trailer.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbagslctodcategory.htm">LC_TOD category</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The LC_TOD category defines the rules used to define the start
|
||
|
|
and end time of daylight saving time, the difference between local time and
|
||
|
|
Greenwich Mean time, the time zone name, and the daylight saving time name.
|
||
|
|
This category is an IBM<sup>®</sup> extension and must appear after all other category
|
||
|
|
definitions in the source file.</li>
