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$() in the SOSFUNC:fnwin32utl.bsi module to get the same information. For Linux, the following command will work:
xcall HOSTEX, "locale | grep LANG=", status, locale$
