Set - U.S. English<br />
The bos.loc.iso.de_DE is installed, and hence, no action is required.<br />
If for some reason the bos.loc.iso.de_DE is missing on your system, you will have<br />
to install the fileset. The command smit install_latest brings you to the proper<br />
SMIT menu. Fill in bos.loc.iso.de_DE in the SOFTWARE to install entry field and<br />
press Enter. SMIT reports the progress.<br />
Since you verified the existence of the BOS de_DE locale support, add the X11<br />
locale support next. The package that must be installed is named X11.loc.de_DE,<br />
and it is recommend to use SMIT in conjunction with the fastpath install_latest<br />
to lay the foundation for the graphical locale support. Fill in X11.loc.de_DE in the<br />
SOFTWARE to install entry field, let SMIT do the work, and wait until you see the<br />
following lines at the end of the output:<br />

Set your LANG environment variable to de_DE.IBM-1252, export LANG and open<br />
a new dtterm that is aware of your new locale by the /usr/dt/bin/dtterm<br />
command. Note, that you do not have to introduce a new keymap to the X server<br />
since you are already using the German ISO keymap. Now you can enter the<br />
Euro symbol by the AltGr+e key combination. The Euro currency formatting will<br />
be to your service as soon as the LC_MONETARY environment variable is set<br />
and exported:<br />
# export LC_MONETARY=de_DE.IBM-1252@euro<br />
It should be mentioned that there is intentionally no SMIT support through the fast<br />
paths chlang and mle_add_lang. for the SBCS migration option. This means the<br />
smit menus Change/Show Primary Language Environment (smit chlang) and<br />
Add Additional Language Environments (smit mle_add_lang) will not allow<br />
you to establish the Euro symbol support through the IBM-1252 code set.<br />
