# LocalizedDisplay command

#### Syntax

    LOCALIZEDDISPLAY { on | off }

#### Description

Specifies to display locale-sensitive data (such as dates) in the native format for the `ij` locale. The `ij` locale is the same as the Java system locale.

Note: NUMERIC and DECIMAL values are not localized when using the J2ME/CDC/Foundation Profile because of platform limitations.

#### Example

The following demonstrates LocalizedDisplay in an English locale:

    ij> VALUES CURRENT_DATE;
    1
    ----------
    2000-05-01
    1 row selected
    ij> localizeddisplay on;
    ij> VALUES CURRENT_DATE;
    1
    ------------------
    May 1, 2000
    1 row selected
