Re: i7.3 latest PTFs and Web Query won't start

I opened a support call with IBM on this. They suggested I change my user
profile to:

CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(-your userid-) CCSID(37) LOCALE('/QSYS.LIB/EN_US.LOCALE')


which I did and then web query worked. Then I asked why is this suddenly
required and got this response:

"Honestly, I thought it was always required from WebQuery 2.2.1 and
later. But I checked with Development and they *did* start requiring it
with Group PTF Level 6 because we were seeing quite a few issues where the
root cause was not having it set. I personally don't know much about
QLOCALE (except that WebQuery has hooks into it) I just did an internet
search on 'IBM QLOCALE' and found several hits. You may want to
investigate QLOCALE more - from my very quick review it does seem like it's
assumed you will set that correctly for your environment. But, like
QCCSID, I'm not sure how may actually do that. ;-) "

So am I the only one with no QLOCALE system value set? What should it be?
Same as what they had me set my user profile to?

Thanks.

All,

Installed the latest PTFs (groups and cume) Friday evening. Now Web Query
2.2.1 (which we're not even using yet, so it's not critical) won't start.
I get "The prerequisite LOCALE is not set for current profile. Set the
LOCALE to match the CCSID.

I also tried it under QSECOFR with the same result.

System values:
QCCSID = 37
QLOCALE = *NONE

My user profile:
CCSID = *SYSVAL
LOCALE = *SYSVAL

Other than changing QCCSID to 37 about a bazillion years ago, I've never
touched these. I'm leery of doing so now. "

Anybody else run into this?

Thanks.
