Operation Notes
The NLGETLANG intrinsic locates the language ID numbers requested by langtype 1 and 2 by referring to the Hewlett-Packard defined job control words (JCWs), NLUSERLANG and NLDATALANG respectively. If the required JCW does not exist or has a value greater than or equal to FATAL (32768), The error value of 4 is returned.
