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:
Make sure
your I/O devices support the character set you wish to use.
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.)
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.
