This appendix contains the language codes with which the user can specify a preferred language if that language is defined in their CICS® system.
ALTUSER userid LANGUAGE(PRIMARY(language-code) SECONDARY(language-code))
For PRIMARY or SECONDARY, you can specify one of the language codes under “IBM® code” in Table 1.
CICS attempts to use the PRIMARY language for a user if it corresponds to a language suffix in the NATLANG system initialization parameter. Otherwise it attempts to use the SECONDARY language. If neither the PRIMARY nor the SECONDARY language corresponds to a NATLANG value, the language must be provided from elsewhere. See Obtaining CICS-related data at signon.
SETROPTS LANGUAGE(PRIMARY(...) SECONDARY(...))
In CICS, you can use only the languages listed in Table 1. Languages other than ENU, CHNS, and JPN are available only if you provide translated message tables for them, using the message editing utility program, and then specify the CICS language suffix in the NATLANG system initialization parameter. See the CICS Operations and Utilities Guide for information on creating translated message tables.
