Sort stage: NLS Locale tab

Sort stage: NLS Locale tab

For the Sort stage, the NLS Locale tab appears if you have NLS enabled on your system.

If you are using the DataStage® sort type, it lets you view the current default collate convention, and select a different one for this stage if required (for UNIX sorts, it is blank). 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 Sort stage uses this when it is determining the order of the sorted fields. 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.
