How to localize for Swiss German "de_CH" - use with dm_session_dd_locale?

Hi all--

I want to use dm_session_dd_locale as part of a where-condition within DQL-statements.

Therefore, I first added data dictionary information for the locale "de_CH" into the docbase. After this dm_docbase_config.dd_locales contains "de_CH".

I'm trying to set and get the locale for Swizz German in JAVA:
--------------------------
IDfSessionManager _sessionMgr = _session.getSessionManager();
_sessionMgr.getConfig().setLocale("de_CH");
String locale = _sessionMgr.getLocale();
--------------------------

locale always returns "de".

Where am I wrong?

Any hint appreciated...

I remember seeing another user posting similar issue with a different locale. We discoverd that even though the field is 5 chars, it seems like only first 2 chars are getting returned. I think this may be a bug. What happens if you create the locale as "CH"?

That's a good idea, though it is no longer conform to standard codes.

The problem may come up again because especially switzerland has 3 different languages: de_CH, fr_CH, and it_CH. Same problem for Belgium: nl_BE, fr_BE.

I tried to insert my own locale, but:

--------------------------

DQL> update dm_docbase_config object append dd_locales='CH';
[DM_QUERY_F_UP_SAVE]fatal: "UPDATE: An error has occurred during a save operation."

[DM_DCNFG_E_CANT_SAVE]error: "Cannot save iopdev docbase_config."

[DM_DCNFG_E_INVALID_DD_LOCALE]error: "The docbase config object has an unrecognized dd_locales value 'CH'."

I guess you are relegated to using a locale that already exist, but you are not planning to use. Sounds like a bug to me.
