Description
       The  language  support databases used by are stored in the directory If either the language support databases are moved or you specify your
       own language support database, it is necessary to set the INTLINFO environment variable to the new location of these tables. The syntax	of
       this environment variable is identical to See the reference page for more information.

       Should  you  want to create your own database, use the reference  page and the Guide to Developing International Software as references for
       what information your database should contain.  After you create the database, you can specify it by using the international compiler,

       The following table defines the supplied settings of the LANG and LC_ environment variables.

       ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       Database      Language	Territory	 Codeset       Use

       In addition to the default collation definition for the GER_DE.nnn language, Digital provides a character  collation  table  that  collates
       information  using  the	German telephone directory ordering of data. The following example shows how to set the variable to use this table
       with the ISO Latin-1 codeset:
       LC_COLLATE = GER_DE.8859@P_TELEPHONE
