CURRENT LOCALE LC_MESSAGES special register

The CURRENT LOCALE LC_MESSAGES special register identifies the locale that is used by EVMON_UPGRADE_TABLES as well as monitoring routines in the monreport module.

EVMON_UPGRADE_TABLES and the monitoring routines use the value of CURRENT LOCALE LC_MESSAGES to determine in which language the result set text output should be returned. User-defined routines that are coded to return messages could also use the value of CURRENT LOCALE LC_MESSAGES to determine what language to use for message text.

The data type is VARCHAR(128).

The initial value of CURRENT LOCALE LC_MESSAGES is "en_US" for English (United States). The value can be changed by invoking the SET CURRENT LOCALE LC_MESSAGES statement.
