Combine Records stage in DataStage: NLS Locale section

For the Combine Records stage, the NLS Locale section appears if NLS is enabled on your system. Use it to view the current default collate convention and select a different one for this stage if required.

You can also use a job parameter to specify the locale, or browse for a file that defines custom collate rules. The collate convention defines the order in which characters are collated. The Combine Records stage uses this order when it is determines the sort order for key columns. Select a locale from the list or click the arrow button next to the list to use a job parameter or browse for a collate file.
