GLS support
This appendix contains information about using Global Language Support (GLS) with ON-Bar.
- Use GLS with the ON-Bar utility
The ON-Bar utility supports Global Language Support (GLS), which allows users to work in their native language. The language that the client application uses is called the client locale. The language that the database uses for its server-specific files is called the server locale. - Use the GL_DATETIME environment variable with ON-Bar
The database server must know how to interpret and convert the end-user formats when they appear in date or time data that the client application sends. You can use the GL_DATE and GL_DATETIME environment variables to specify alternative date and time formats. - Use GLS with the ontape utility
The ontape utility supports GLS in the same way as ON-Bar does. You can specify the database name in the national locale.
