GLS environment variablesHCL OneDB™ products establish the client, database, and server locales with information from GLS-related environment variables and from data that is stored in the database.
GLS-related environment variablesThese topics list the GLS-related environment variables that you can set for HCL OneDB™ database servers and SQL API products.
GLS8BITFSYS environment variableUse the GLS8BITFSYS environment variable to tell HCL OneDB™ products (such as the processor) whether the operating system is 8-bit clean.
Restrictions on non-ASCII file namesIf your locale supports a code set with non-ASCII characters, restrictions apply to file names for operating-system files that HCL® OneDB® products generate.
Make sure that your operating system is 8-bit cleanTo support non-ASCII characters in file names, your operating system must be 8-bit clean.

Make sure that your operating system is 8-bit clean

To support non-ASCII characters in file names, your operating system must be 8-bit clean.

An operating system is 8-bit clean if it reads the eighth bit as part of the code value. In other words, the operating system must not ignore or make its own interpretation of the value of the eighth bit.

Consult your operating-system manual or system administrator to determine whether your operating system is 8-bit clean before you decide to use a nondefault locale that contains non-ASCII characters in file names that HCL® OneDB® products use and generate.
