Global Language Support (GLS)
Each
nation has its own way to display money values. When the Informix database
server displays a MONEY value, it refers to a currency format that
the user specifies. The default locale specifies a U.S. English currency
format of the following form: $7,822.45
For non-English-language locales, you can use the MONETARY category of the locale file to change the current format. For more information about how to use locales, see the Informix GLS User's Guide.
