... COUNTRY cntry
Effect
The addition COUNTRY was intended for explicitly setting country-specific

The function of this addition was not implemented in full and is undefined. If the data object
lang of the statement SET LOCALE LANGUAGE contains only blanks, the addition is ignored.
Note
Do not confuse the statement SET LOCALE LANGUAGE with the addition
COUNTRY of the statement SET COUNTRY, which is used to configure the
formatting settings.
Addition 2
... MODIFIER mod
Effect
The addition MODIFIER was intended for setting different locales for a language
within a country, for example, for sorting according to different sort criteria. mod expects a character-like data object with a maximum of eight places.
This function is not implemented. The addition MODIFIER is ignored when the statement is executed.
