If you select a locale that is not based on code page IBM-1047 and you use the utilities lex, mailx, make, and yacc, there is a further customizing step. These utilities expect all their input files, both system files and user-created files, to be in the same code page. So, for example, if you select the German locale De_DE.IBM-273, these utilities expect the files they process to be in code page IBM-273. Because system files are in code page IBM-1047, you need to use iconv to convert the following system files to the code page used by your selected locale:

Utility

File

lex

/etc/yylex.c

mailx

/etc/mailx.rc

make

/etc/startup.mk

yacc

/etc/yyparse.c
