LANGUAGE
- LANGUAGE
- Specifies the language for Z Data Tools batch message text. The
possible values depend on which translated message texts you installed.
For information on installing translated messages for the various
Z Data Tools components, see the relevant chapter on customizing for
national languages. See also the following notes.
- ENGLISH
- Messages will appear in English.
- language
- Messages will appear in the language of your choice.
Note:
- See Keyword values for the LANGUAGE option to determine what value to use for language for your requirements.
- Specifying a language here only affects batch processing. The
language used by Z Data Tools under ISPF depends on the language setting
for your ISPF session.
However, ZDT/Db2 also uses the value of language to determine the data module to use when displaying Db2® catalog table information. See OP34MOD for more information.
- If you specify a language other than English, you must also customize the translation tables, the message modules, and (in some cases) the ISPF messages for your chosen language. See Customizing Z Data Tools for national languages, or Customizing ZDT/Db2 for national languages, or Customizing ZDT/IMS for national languages, or Customizing ZDT/CICS for national languages, for information about customizing for national languages.
- Specifying LANGUAGE=language, causes the relevant language translate tables and message tables to be loaded for batch processing.
- You must specify LANGUAGE=JAPANESE (or another DBCS-capable language) to print DBCS characters in batch.
- You must specify LANGUAGE=JAPANESE (or another DBCS-capable language) for batch processing, if you want to use the FMT function, and field type of DB, to describe COBOL or PL/I Graphic fields.
