RE: date format problem, JVM not taking account of QLOCALE value

["Gary L Peskin" <garyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try setting the following system values:

  QLANGID ---> ENG
  QCNTRYID --> GB

Actually, the locale is determined from the LANGID and CNTRYID of the user's
job.  But from your posting, I'm assuming that you have the USRPRF values
for LANGID and CNTRYID set to *SYSVAL for this user.

HTH,
Gary
