Native Language Support
If your system has the proper message files installed, ALLBASE/SQL
displays prompts, messages and banners in the language you select; and it
displays system dates and time according to local customs. In addition,
ISQL accepts responses to its prompts in the native language selected.
However, regardless of the native language used, the syntax of ISQL and
SQL commands--including punctuation--remains in ASCII. Note that MPE/iX
does not support native language file names nor DBEnvironment names.
In order to use a native language other than the default, you must follow
the steps below:
1. Make sure your I/O devices support the character set you wish to
use.
2. Set the MPE job control word NLUSERLANG to the number (LangNum) of
the native language you wish to use. Use the following MPE/iX
command:
SETJCW NLUSERLANG = LangNum
This language then becomes the current language. (If NLUSERLANG
is not set, the current language is NATIVE-3000.)
3. Use the LANG = LanguageName option of the START DBE NEW command to
specify the language of a DBEnvironment when you create it. Run
the MPE/iX utility program NLUTIL.PUB.SYS to determine which
native languages are supported on your system. Here is a list of
supported languages, preceded by the LangNum for each:
0 NATIVE-3000 9 ITALIAN 52 ARABICW
1 AMERICAN 10 NORWEGIAN 61 GREEK
2 C-FRENCH 11 PORTUGUESE 71 HEBREW
3 DANISH 12 SPANISH 81 TURKISH
4 DUTCH 13 SWEDISH 201 CHINESE-S
5 ENGLISH 14 ICELANDIC 211 CHINESE-T
6 FINNISH 41 KATAKANA 221 JAPANESE
7 FRENCH 51 ARABIC 231 KOREAN
8 GERMAN
Resetting the LANG variable while you are connected to a DBEnvironment
has no effect on the current DBE session.
