Description
The NLS locale affects the default way in which data is displayed, sorted, and transformed in case conversion. The value of $NLS_LOCALE can be overridden in ProcScript using $nlslocale.
The NLS locale is the first step of a
fall-through mechanism, in which the value of $nlslocale is automatically used
by $NLS_CASE, $NLS_FORMAT, and
$NLS_SORT_ORDER. The default value of these settings is
nlslocale, which means that they use the value set by $NLS_LOCALE
to control their specific area of functionality.
If $NLS_LOCALE is set to
system or a specific locale, locale-based processing rules are applied, unless they
are overridden by one of these other assignment settings, or in ProcScript. If it is set to
classic, Uniface does not apply locale-based processing unless the locale is set in
ProcScript using $nlslocale. For more information, see Language and Locale.
Note: The NLS locale is not used for locale-based processing in the client side of a dynamic server page. To set the locale for the DSP client, you can use $webinfo("locale").
