System-supplied locales and recommended CCSIDs

The system-supplied locale source definition file members are in the optionally installable library QSYSLOCALE in the QLOCALESRC source file. The source file members are encoded in CCSID 37 and are read only.

The following table shows the locale source file definition members that are shipped with i5/OS™, the recommended CCSID for creating each locale, and how the locale is supplied (as source, object, or both).

The source definition file members themselves cannot be changed. They can be copied and then edited, if needed.
