If you are using OMVS, the 3270 terminal interface. If your /etc/profile is not set up for your locale and LANG, then in order to work in a locale such as Danish, then add this code to the .profile file:

if test -z "$LOCALE_SWITCH" && tty -s
then
  echo " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "
  echo " - Logon shell will now be invoked to reflect        - "
  echo " - code page IBM-277                                 - "
  echo " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "
  LOCALE_SWITCH=EXECUTED
  LANG=C
  LC_ALL=Da_DK.IBM-277
  export LANG LC_ALL LOCALE_SWITCH
  #Issue chcp if not using OMVS command
   if test "$_BPX_TERMPATH" ! "OMVS"
   then
   chcp -a ISO8859-1 -e IBM-277  
   fi
exec sh -L
else
  echo " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "
  echo " -  Welcome to OS/390 UNIX System Services           - "
  echo " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "
fi
