Hi all,
if I try locale the output is:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Does the empty value for LANG mean that LANG is set to a default value? If so - what is the default???
I only need to know which language settings are actually set in my hp/ux system.

regards
Christian

Hi Christian:

'LANG' is important if the LC_xxx variables are null in which case valid values are supported locales defined by 'lang(5)'.

See the manpages for 'localedef(1M), 'charmap(4)' and 'environ(5)' for more information.
