Hi all,

Can any one shed me some light on what is NLS , what is its purpose and what are its settings? Is system date format or any thing else set there.

Thank you all.

NLS stands for National Language Support.

It does two things.

It maps characters from whatever representation they are in in external stores into and out of the DataStage internal represntation of Unicode.

It manages locales (local representation) of times and dates, numeric, currency and character data as well as sorting rules.

For more information refer to the DataStage NLS manual.
