Discussion

The user language is different from the data base language. The user language is used for determining collating sequences and language dependent display characteristics. For example, the user language is used when sorting data in a report or when determining the thousands separator and decimal point when displaying numbers.

If no LANGUAGE= command is entered, the default language is NATIVE-3000. This means that QUERY will operate in the same way as before Native Language Support enhancements were made.

Each computer system supports a set of languages. Consult your system manager for a list of the configured languages on your system and the language ID numbers associated with them.

Refer to Appendix D for more information on Native Language Support.
