“Information in message CPX8416” on page 81
If your application is translated into other languages, use message CPX8416 from the QCPFMSG message
file to get the correct setting for some cultural values for the other languages. The message exists for your
primary language and all installed secondary language libraries.
“Decimal formats” on page 87
You can change the decimal format with the QDECFMT system value to reflect the way decimals are
presented for your country or location.
Language identifier (QLANGID) system value:
The language identifier (QLANGID) system value specifies the default language identifier for the system.
This value also determines the sort sequence table to be used for sorting character data when the
QSRTSEQ system value is set to *LANGIDSHR or *LANGIDUNQ.
Note: This value is not used to determine the sort sequence table when QSRTSEQ is set either to *HEX
or to a user-specified table.
You can change this system value to reflect the default language identifier for your country or location.
There is no validity checking between the QLANGID system value and the QCCSID system value.
