What can I do with this system value?
You can specify whether certain job attributes are set to the value in a locale when the job is initiated. If you select this option, you can specify any of the following job attributes:
- Date format (*DATFMT)
- Date separator (*DATSEP)
- Time separator (*TIMSEP)
- Decimal format (*DECFMT)
- Coded character set ID (*CCSID)
- Sort sequence (*SRTSEQ)
These values are set only if the value in the locale conforms to a valid value for the attribute being set. The values are set when the job is initiated.
