The native language ID assigned for the forms file language determines the native language used by ENTRY unless the file is international (-1). ENTRY uses the intrinsic VGETLANG to identify the native language ID assigned by the forms designer for the forms file language.

If the forms file is international, ENTRY calls the NLS intrinsic NLGETLANG (mode 1). If it returns a value of UNKNOWN, the user is prompted for a native language ID number. Once a valid native language ID number is determined, ENTRY calls the VSETLANG intrinsic to specify the corresponding native language.

The batch file does not have a native language indicator. Users with different native languages may collect data in the same batch file if the associated forms file is international.
