I'm trying to get feedback on standard practices involved in the intranationalization of an app. This is just curiosity on my part, for now, but I expect there might be a project for this soon.

Here are some of the basic questions I have...
1) base field dimensions for currency fields. What scaling factors to use for aggregation field sizes?
2) Character fields should use some flavor of UCS; assuming that the %UCS2() bif make this flavor easiest to use?
3) Wondering about text constants: If building a new business logic interface that is intended to support web-service/webapp, are MSGF objects still the best way to support language-based resources?

I looked at this several years ago, and have a pretty decent grasp on IBMs recommendations at that time, but I wonder if these techniques are still preferred in light of IBM's modernization roadmap....

Thanks for any insights,
Eric DeLong
