Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide

Numberformat

The numberformat option specifies the format you want to use to display numbers.

The AIX, AIX 5L, Solaris, and HP-UX clients support locales other than English that describe every user interface that varies with location or language. Solaris and HP-UX clients only support English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese locale information. The default directories for system-supplied locales are as follows:

The backup-archive and administrative clients obtain format information from the locale definition in effect at the time the client is called. Consult the documentation on your local system for details about setting up your locale definition.

Note:
This numberformat option does not affect the Web client. The Web client uses the number format for the locale that the browser is running in. If the browser is not running in a supported locale, the Web client uses the number format for American English.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX clients.
