APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The db2setup does not recognize default LANG setting
  "ja_JP.UTF-8" on Linux systems like Suse 9 and runs in English
  only.  Also the db2setup's language cannot be overriden using -i
  option like "db2setup -i JP" either.  APAR LI71802 contained an
  incomplete fix and this APAR completes the fix.
  

Local fix

• Change the environment variable LANG to ja_JP.utf8 and then run
  the db2setup:
  
  export LANG=ja_JP.utf8
  db2setup
