NLS - LANG environment variable on Unix/Linux
Hi,
After reading all I could find about NLS for DataStage, it is still unclear to me for what purpose the LANG environment variable is used for?
How DataStage uses it?
Thanks

LANG defines the date formats, default file encoding etc. This is used by applications such as DataStage to determine the date format, default file encoding and also language to use for error messages and instructions.
