name A character string that identifies the locale to be loaded. This can be one of the following: o The name of the public locale The format of the name is: language_country.codeset[@modifier] LOCALE LOAD searches for the public locale binary file in the location defined by the logical name SYS$I18N_LOCALE. The file type defaults to .LOCALE. The period (.) and at-sign (@) characters in the name specified are replaced by an underscore character (_). o A file specification Specifies the binary locale file. This can be any valid file specification. If either the device or directory is not specified, LOCALE LOAD first applies the current caller's device and directory as defaults. If the file is not found, the device and directory defined by the SYS$I18N_LOCALE logical name are used as defaults. The file type defaults to .LOCALE. Wildcards are not allowed. The binary locale file cannot reside on a remote node.
