APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The change to support multiple locales in V7 runtime had an
  impact on V6 standard library headers such that C++ streams are
  affected by the setlocale() function.
  
  The C++ standard says streams are constructed from std::locale
  [27.4.4.2p3] and std::locale is constructed from
  std::locale::global or std::locale::classic [27.1.1.2p2]
  therefore setlocale() should have no effect on C++ streams.
  
  
  Test case:
  
  #include <sstream>
  #include <locale.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  
  int main()
  {
     setlocale( LC_ALL, "en_US" );
  
     int x = 123456;
     std::stringstream s;
  
     s << x;
     printf( "%s\n", s.str().c_str());
  }
  
  
  Actual output:
  $ xlC t.cpp && a.out
  123,456
  
  Expected output:
  $ xlC t.cpp && a.out
  123456
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• There was a change in V7 C++ runtime library and header files
  which resulted in the observed behaviour. Specifically, the
  runtime was modified to accomodate multiple locales active at
  a given time.
  

Problem conclusion

• Runtime libraries were modified to eliminate V6 problems without
  recompilation.
  

Temporary fix
