Understanding locales

326

For more information, see “Setting the SQLLOCALE environment
variable” on page 328.

Open Client applications check the locales.dat file in the Sybase locales
directory is used.

Character set information from the operating system is used to determine
the locale:

•

On Windows operating systems, use the GetACP system call. This
returns the ANSI character set, not the OEM character set.

•

On UNIX, default to ISO8859-1.

•

On other platforms, use code page 850.

Character set labels

The following table shows the valid character set label values, together with the
equivalent IANA labels and a description:
