The regular expression functions belongs the group of function that are
locale sensitive. From the IBM i Information Center:
"Locale Sensitive: The behavior of this function might be affected by the
LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE categories of the current locale. This function is
not available when LOCALETYPE(*CLD) is specified on the compilation
command. For more information, see Understanding CCSIDs and Locales."
I always convert the pattern and the value to the CCSID of the current
locale using ...
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to get the CCSID
QtqIconvOpen(), iconv() and iconv_close() to convert the CCSID
... before I use regcomp(), regexec() and regfree() to apply the regular
expression to the value.

I've cross posted this to the C list but it doesn't get much traffic so
this question might get more of an audience here. I've been having
issues with using regular expressions (as in a sscanf function) where
the locale might vary. I've looked all over the ibm site but there's
very little with any definition on exactly what effect locales have on
expression statements. How do I locale protect my expressions?
