ALLBASE/NET is localizable to a variety of other languages,
including languages using 8-bit and 16-bit character sets. In
MPE/iX, the default language is called NATIVE-3000. A list
of supported languages can be found by running NLUTIL.PUB.SYS.
The ALLBASE/NET utility, NETUtil, has native language support
for the following:
The alias name in the AliasDB file
The DBEnvironment name in the AliasDB file (HP-UX DBEnvironments only)
With the exception of the alias name, HP-UX DBEnvironment name,
and yes/no responses, all NETUtil commands and responses must be
typed as ASCII characters. All language sets have ASCII as a
subset.
The DBEnvironment name in the AliasDB file can contain 8-bit or
16-bit characters if the DBEnvironment it defines resides on an
HP-UX system. This is independent of the operating system of
the client system where the AliasDB file resides. For example,
a NETUtil user on an MPE/iX system can enter a 16-bit character
string for the DBEnvironment name if the DBEnvironment being
accessed resides on an HP-UX server. DBEnvironment names on MPE/iX are restricted to ASCII characters because MPE/iX does not
support names containing 8-bit and 16-bit characters, whereas
HP-UX does.
NETUtil does not prohibit users from entering 16-bit characters
in node names, login names, or DBEnvironment names. However,
when the user attempts to connect to a remote DBEnvironment from
an ALLBASE/SQL application, the connection fails if the
operating system doesn't support 16-bit characters in node
names.
To get localized messages, prompts, and yes/no responses for
NETUtil, you must have the appropriate ALLBASE/SQL message
catalog installed for the desired language. On MPE/iX, set the
job control word "NLUSERLANG" to the desired language number.
ALLBASE/NET has no effect on ALLBASE/SQL native language
support. The server process inherits the native language of its
remote client process. The language of the DBEnvironment itself
is determined at create time by the "LANG"= option of the START
DBE NEW command, which must always be invoked local to the
server machine. The user's native language and the language of the
DBEnvironment should be the same. For additional information about
ALLBASE/SQL native language support, refer to the ALLBASE/SQL Reference
Manual.
