Hi I am using IDS 11.10 and want to implement Indian regional language support at 4GL and database level. Does IDS 11.10 supports Indian Regional Languages (Hindi, Marathi etc.), if yes how to implement it. Thanks.....

You need to set DB_LOCALE=en_us.utf8CLIENT_LOCALE = EN_US.UTF8 Then create a database in dbaccess. In your client side too you will need set the locales. I had tried with Japanese and Chinese characters long time back.
