LC_ALL (or LANG)

Defines the current application locale on UNIX™ platforms.

The LC_ALL (or LANG) environment variable defines language, territory and codeset for programs running on UNIX platforms.

The codeset defined in LC_ALL is used by the runtime system to handle character strings.

It is important to set this variable properly to the character set used by your application.

If LC_ALL is not defined, LANG is used instead.

Read the UNIX man page of the setlocale() C runtime function for more details about this variable.

On Microsoft™ Windows™ platforms, the application locale is defined by the regional settings. However, when the the LANG environment variable is defined, Genero compilers and runtime system use this variable. Refer to Language and character set settings for more details.
