### LOCALDEF Syntax

The syntax of the localdef command is:

where localename specifies the name of the output file for the locale generated. If you do not specify an extension for localename , LOCALDEF assumes an extension of .LCL. If you do not qualify localename with a path, the locale is written to the current directory.

You can use the following options:

/c
  Generate locale even if there are errors
/f
  Specify file that maps symbols to character encodings
/i
  Specify locale source file
/W
  Control messages produced

/c

Syntax: | Default:
/c | Stop process when error encountered
Use /c to generate a locale object even if LOCALDEF encounters an error during the locale definition process. By default, LOCALDEF does not generate a locale object if there are errors.

/f

Syntax: | Default:
/f filename | /f IBM-850.cm
Use /f to specify the name of the file that maps character symbols and collating element symbols to actual character encodings. If you do not specify an extension for the file name, LOCALDEF assumes .CM. By default, LOCALDEF uses IBM-850.CM. If you specify the file without including its path, LOCALDEF searches for it in the following places: The current directory The directories listed in the DPATH environment variable

/i

Syntax: | Default:
/i | Standard input (stdin)
Use /i to specify the source file for the locale. If you do not specify an extension, LOCALDEF assumes the extension .LOC. If you specify the file without including its path, LOCALDEF searches for it in the following places: The current directory The directories listed in the DPATH environment variable

/W

Syntax: | Default:
/W[1|2] | /W2
Use /W to control the type of message LOCALDEF produces. /W1 Produce sever errors and errors /W2 Produce severe errors, errors, and warnings By default, LOCALDEF produces all three kinds of messages
