A-Shell Reference

? TAB(-10,AG_GETLOCALE); chr(127);

input "" locale$

AG_getLOCALE (115) retrieves the name of the user's locale on the client workstation.

Parameters

locale  (String)  [in]

the name of the locale on the client, e.g. "en-US" (Windows indication for English language with USA regional settings).

Comments

There is not currently an equivalent MX_ version to get the server locale, but for ATSD connections, you can use the utility function Fn'GetUserDefaultLocaleName$() in the SOSFUNC:fnwin32utl.bsi module to get the same information. For Linux, the following command will work:

xcall HOSTEX, "locale | grep LANG=", status, locale$
