The ILE C++ compiler and run time environment support locales of the following
types: *LOCALE, *LOCALEUCS2, and *LOCALEUTF.
Locales of type *LOCALE and the ILE C/C++ support for them is based on the IEEE POSIX P1003.2, ISO/IEC 9899:1990/Amendment 1:1994[E], and X/Open Portability Guide standards for global locales and coded character set conversion.
The POSIX standard defines a much more comprehensive set of functions and
locale data for application internationalization that is compared to that
available for *CLD locales. By supporting the POSIX specification for
locales in the ILE C/C++ run-time libraries, and introducing new functions
which comply with the XPG4, POSIX and ISO/IEC standards, ILE C/C++ programs
using locales of type *LOCALE become more portable to and from other operating
systems.
