Problem IC62902
|
Status: Closed |
FUNCTIONS DAYNAME() AND MONTHNAME() RETURN RESULTS IN ENGLISH ONLY |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
Starting with DB2 V9.5 FixPak 3b SQL builtin functions
dayname() or monthname() return their results in English
language only even if a different locale has been specified by
the LANG variable.
For example SQL dayname() returns the weekday in English
regardless if LANG has been specified to a specific language
like Spanish, German or French.
export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
db2 db2start
db2 connect to mydatabase
db2 "values monthname(current date)"
db2 "values dayname(current date)"
The above will return the month name and day name in English
instead of Spanish. |
