Parameter

  name

    A character string that identifies the locale to be loaded.
    This can be one of the following:

     o  The name of the public locale

        The format of the name is:

             language_country.codeset[@modifier]

        LOCALE LOAD searches for the public locale binary file in
        the location defined by the logical name SYS$I18N_LOCALE.
        The file type defaults to .LOCALE.  The period (.) and
        at-sign (@) characters in the name specified are replaced by
        an underscore character (_).

     o  A file specification

        Specifies the binary locale file.  This can be any valid
        file specification.  If either the device or directory is
        not specified, LOCALE LOAD first applies the current
        caller's device and directory as defaults.  If the file is
        not found, the device and directory defined by the
        SYS$I18N_LOCALE logical name are used as defaults.  The file
        type defaults to .LOCALE.

        Wildcards are not allowed.  The binary locale file cannot
        reside on a remote node.
