Locale profiles

The locale profile controls the display of date, time, currency symbol, and thousandth separator. IBM supplies a default profile, KOBENUS, that defines display characteristics that are based on United States English. You can create profiles that specify different display characteristics.

A locale profile is a member of the data set allocated to the RKOBPROF DD statement. The name of the member must be KOBlocale_id, where locale_id is the 4-character identifier that is specified in the interface profile for the session, for example, in the member KOBENUS, ENUS is the identifier that denotes an English (United States) profile.
