Note for Russian users

You can select menu options in Cyrillic only when the following conditions are met:

The UNIX™ platform supports NLS.
An appropriate Cyrillic locale is in use, that is, the LANG environment variable is set appropriately.

If the above conditions are not met, you must use the uppercase shortcut characters to select menu options.

Important: There are UNIX™ platforms on which Informix® products using Cyrillic characters require NLS, for example SunOS 5.4. On such platforms you should ask your system administrator to enable NLS.

If you want to use Informix® products with NLS ask your system administrator to enable ru.<code set-name> locale for your UNIX™ platform and X Windows™. In addition, set the appropriate environment variable:

C-Shell:

setenv LANG ru
setenv LC_CTYPE ru.<code set-name>
setenv LC_COLLATE ru.<code set-name>

Bourne-Shell:

LANG=ru
export LANG
LC_CTYPE=ru.<code set-name>
export LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE=ru.<code set-name>
export LC_COLLATE
