I am not certain how to answer you. I don't know what problems you had before
so I cannot tell you how to avoid them. I suspect there were message catalog
issues -- messages that wouldn't format correctly -- because there were no
catalogs installed under "en_US". But the /usr/OV/bin/netview script tests
for a LANG of "C" or "" and resets that to "En_US" so the Netview GUI will
work OK. You could always edit the script to do the same for "en_US" - reset it
to "En_US" and export it.. Ditto for the /etc/netnmrc script which starts the
daemons.
Are there other scripts which set the LANG? I dunno. You could search (grep)
/usr/OV/bin for them.
Don't know what else to tell you to change because this is not an environment we
recommend or test in. So I'd guess you are pretty much on your own here.
Sorry about that, but I don't know who has tested this.
Just out of curiosity, what other product is it that requires the default to be
"en_US"? If they could use "C" as the default and reset it as necessary, then
we'd both be happy.

The current default LANG on this server is "en_US". I know that NetView
definitely will have problems with this LANG setting, because I've tried
running NetView with that setting before (thinking that a lower case "e" and
an uppercase "E" could not possibly have a significant difference; what a
fool I was). Anyway, I need to know how to run NetView, (if it's even
possible), on a system with "en_US" as the default LANG setting.

My AIX default LANG has always been C
The /usr/OV/bin/netview script will change the LANG to En_Us on AIX
as required.
The daemons will run quite happily with "C " or even ""

Subject: AIX Codeset for NetView 5.1.2
We are trying to install NetView 5.1.2 on a "new" (to NetView) AIX
4.3.2
server which is already running another application. The
bos.loc.pc_compat.En_US LPP has been installed so that we can use
the En_US
language setting for NetView. However, we do not want to change the
default
cultural convention to IBM-850, because of the other application
(the
current default is ISO8859 or LANG=en_US).
Is there any way to customize the NetView startup, user profiles,
etc. to
make sure that NetView runs with the correct language environment?
I've
already got "export LANG=En_US" in the users' .profile that are
going to use
NetView. I'm more concerned about how the daemons are started at
system
boot time, or any other time (ovstop, ovstart), and making sure that
the
proper scripts and startup files are configured properly.
Any help is appreciated.
