Collating-element The collating-element statement specifies multi-character collating elements. language id A valid 3-character language identifier. Language identifiers: *JOB Use the language identifier of the job. Valid values are strings containing one of the following Language identifier of the sort sequence table to be used. *HEX The sort sequence according to the hexadecimal value of the characters. *LANGIDSHR The shared-weighted sort sequence table that is associated with the language *LANGIDUNQ The unique-weighted sort sequence table that is associated with the language Other valid valuesĪre strings containing one of the following sort sequence tables: *JOB The sort sequence of the job. The path name delimiter must be a slash (/). Name of an existing sort sequence table to use as the definition for thisĬategory. Sequence path name is a string specifying a fully expanded path The syntax for the CPYSYSCOL keyword is: CPYSYSCOL sort sequence path name langid To be used to set the sort sequence table for the job, then it is required The following keywords are recognized in the LC_COLLATE category: cpysyscol This statement specifies that a system collating sequence table is toīe used for the collation information for the category. The LC_COLLATE category begins with the LC_COLLATE keyword and ends with The syntax is: collating-element character-symbol from string Additional collating elements can beĭefined using the collating-element statement. These collation weightsĪre then used by applications programs that compare strings.Įvery character defined in the CCSID that is specified in the CRTLOCALEĬommand is itself a collating element. When the locale definition source file is created. In the locale has a set of weights, which determine if the collation elementĬollates before, equal to, or after the other collation elements in the locale.Įach collation element is assigned collation weights by the CRTLOCALE command A collationĮlement may be a character or a sequence of characters. The cpysyscol keyword value is used in place of theĪ collation element is the unit of comparison for collation. Within LC_COLLATE you can specify a sort sequence to use using the cpysyscol The LC_COLLATE category defines character or string collation information.
