DVM locale
If application files (such as .4gl, .per, .4st files) contain characters in a specific encoding, the DVM has to run in this encoding.
Setting a DVM locale is described in the chapter on Application locale in the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.
On Linux®/UNIX™,
the DVM locale is defined by the LC_ALL environment variable. On Windows® the DVM locale is defined by the
LANG environment variable. The configuration can be specified in the GAS executing
environment, or with the ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE child of a
WEB_APPLICATION_EXECUTION_COMPONENT element, inside the
as.xcf file.
Example in as.xcf defining a KOI8-R (Russian) charset for the DVM in Linux:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
...
<COMPONENT_LIST>
<WEB_APPLICATION_EXECUTION_COMPONENT Id="cpn.wa.execution.local">
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="FGLDIR">$(res.fgldir)</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="FGLGUI">$(res.fglgui)</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="PATH">$(res.path)</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
...
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="LC_ALL">ru_RU.KIO8-R</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
<DVM>$(res.dvm.wa)</DVM>
</EXECUTION_COMPONENT>
...
</COMPONENT_LIST>Example in as.xcf defining a KOI8-R (Russian) charset for the DVM in Windows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
...
<COMPONENT_LIST>
<WEB_APPLICATION_EXECUTION_COMPONENT Id="cpn.wa.execution.local">
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="FGLDIR">$(res.fgldir)</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="FGLGUI">$(res.fglgui)</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="PATH">$(res.path)</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
...
<ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE Id="LANG">Windows-1251</ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE>
<DVM>$(res.dvm.wa)</DVM>
</EXECUTION_COMPONENT>
...
</COMPONENT_LIST>Such WEB_APPLICATION_EXECUTION_COMPONENT definition can then be referenced by an
APPLICATION (for an application) element using the
<EXECUTION Using="identifier"> tag.
