Locale restrictions

Certain restrictions apply when you use locales to set job attributes.

• The locale CCSID must be an EBCDIC single-byte CCSID for an SBCS system.
• The locale CCSID must be an EBCDIC, single-byte character set (SBCS), or mixed-byte CCSID for a DBCS-capable system.
• The locale object must exist in the QSYS file system.
• The DATFMT, DATSEP, TIMSEP, and DECFMT parameters within the locale must be valid values supported as job attributes.
• If you want sort sequence support from the locale, you must use the CPYSYSCOL keyword.
