Re: Locale for a particular CCSID or language

Hello, Erik:

Each user profile has a default *LOCALE. See also the system value QSETJOBATR that controls whether certain job attributes will be set based on the *LOCALE for the user profile, rather than from the normal defaults (from the *JOBD, or from the *USRPRF, etc.). Type DSPUSRPRF for a user profile on your system and page down until you see ":Locale job attributes" and "Locale" for that user profile.

You could do something like this:

DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*LOCALE) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/QADSPOBJ)

and then you would have a database file (table) containing the names of all the *LOCALE objects, and their text description seems to contain the corresponding CCSID (although they are not formatted consistently, so you may need to trim extra blanks). (The locale names seem to be a concatenation of language code, underscore and country code.)

But, what is it that you are trying to accomplish, that you need to "find a specific locale object for a particular CCSID or language" (dynamically)?

All the best,

Does anybody of a place on the system where one can find a specific locale

the Qshell manual but I'd rather not have to hardcode all that myself.

Eg:
CCSID Corresponding locale
500 /QSYS.LIB/NL_BE.LOCALE
1148 /QSYS.LIB/NL_BE_E.LOCALE
etc

Many thanks.

Best wishes,
