<div><p>Because the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
run time is based on the AIX<sup>®</sup> run time, <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
programs can use the same rich set of programming interfaces for locales,
|
||
|
|
character string manipulation, date and time services, message catalogs, and
|
||
|
|
character encoding conversions supported on AIX.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE supports
|
||
|
|
the interfaces in AIX run time for managing the locale that an application
|
||
|
|
uses and for performing locale-sensitive functions (such as ctype and strcoll),
|
||
|
|
including support for both single-byte and multibyte character encoding.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE includes
|
||
|
|
a subset of AIX locales,
|
||
|
|
which provide support for a large number of countries and languages using
|
||
|
|
industry-standard encoding (code sets ISO8859-x), code set IBM-1250, and code
|
||
|
|
set UTF-8. <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE provides
|
||
|
|
support for the Euro in three different ways: IBM-1252 locales and ISO 8859-15
|
||
|
|
locales (both of which use single-byte encodings), and UTF-8 locales.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Locale support for <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
is independent of either form of locale support used by ILE C programs (object
|
||
|
|
types *CLD and *LOCALE). In addition to internal structural differences, none
|
||
|
|
of the existing shipped locales for ILE C programs supports ASCII.</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Create new locales</h4><p><span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE does not ship a utility
|
||
|
|
to create new locales. However, you can create locales for use in <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE on an AIX system with
|
||
|
|
the <tt>localedef</tt> utility.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Change locales</h4><p>When
|
||
|
|
an <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE application
|
||
|
|
changes locales, generally it also should change the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
CCSID (using the _SETCCSID runtime function) to match the encoding for the
|
||
|
|
new locale. This ensures that any character data interface arguments are correctly
|
||
|
|
interpreted by <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
run time (and possibly converted when calling an EBCDIC system service). You
|
||
|
|
can use the <tt>cstoccsid</tt> runtime function to determine what CCSID corresponds
|
||
|
|
to a code set name.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
run time sets the CCSID tag on any file created by an <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
program to the current <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
CCSID value (supplied either when the program is started or using the most
|
||
|
|
recent _SETCCSID value). </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You should use UTF-8 locales for <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE applications that support
|
||
|
|
Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> includes
|
||
|
|
other locales for these languages, but the system does not support setting
|
||
|
|
the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE CCSID to
|
||
|
|
match the encoding for IBM-euc<em>XX</em> code sets. Using UTF-8 support might
|
||
|
|
require converting file data that might be stored in other encoding (such
|
||
|
|
as Shift-JIS) when the application runs on other platforms.</p>
|

</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Where <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
conversion objects and locales are stored</h4><p>Conversion objects and
|
||
|
|
locales for <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
|
||
|
|
are packaged with <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> language

feature codes. When you install <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE,
|
||
|
|
only those locales that are associated with installed <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> language
|
||
|
|
features are created.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>All <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE

locales use ASCII or UTF-8 character encoding; therefore, all <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> PASE
