Global Language Support

The GLS feature allows you to create databases that use the diacritics, collating sequence, and monetary and time conventions of the language that you select. To use GLS, you must set appropriate environment variables. Users might need additional environment variables, such as LC_COLLATE, to describe their environment fully. For a detailed discussion of GLS, refer to the IBM Informix: GLS User's Guide.
