About the Local Code Parameter and Data Format

The Workflow Process Manager server component (WfProcMgr), similar to other server components, has a parameter called Local Code which defines formatting of data, such as dates, times, numbers, and currency.

When a workflow process runs within the WfProcMgr, WfProcMgr respects the Local Code setting and formats the data appropriately. If the workflow process communicates with an external application or writes data to file, then date, time, number, and currency data is passed according the format defined in Local Code.
