Global Language Support

Informix® database server products provide the Global Language Support (GLS) feature. In addition to U.S. ASCII English, GLS allows you to work in other locales and use non-ASCII characters in SQL data and identifiers. You can use the GLS feature to conform to the customs of a specific locale. The locale files contain culture-specific information, such as money and date formats and collation orders. For more GLS information, see the Informix GLS User's Guide.
