About the International Utilities Package
About the International Utilities Package
The International Utilities Package provides sorting routines that
support primary and secondary orderings of characters and other features. The
package also handles formats for the presentation of dates, time, currency, and
numbers in regions around the world. These formats may vary from script to
script, language to language, and region to region.
With system software version 7.0, the International Utilities Package
includes new routines that make it easier for an application to supply 'itl2' or
'itl4' resources, call sorting routines with explicit specification of an 'itl2'
resource handle, provide ways to sort strings that may be in different scripts
or languages, and obtain tables from an 'itl2' or 'itl4' resource. For details,
see the seperate section with the heading,
Using the International Utilities Package Routines.
