Enabling English support in an NLF environment

Every NLF has a complete set of translated verbs, keywords, messages, and panels for QMF. The global variable DSQEC__NLFCMD__LANG allows you to change the language in which the user enters commands.

Set DSQEC__NLFCMD__LANG to 1 to allow users to enter commands only in English.

The default value, 0, allows users to enter commands and keywords only in the national language of the current session, except for the following commands:

QMF allows you to enter these commands in either English or the NLF, regardless of how you set DSQEC_NLFCMD_LANG.

Use the DSQEC_FORM_LANG variable to enable users working in an NLF environment to store their form objects in the English language. The LANGUAGE option on the SAVE, EXPORT, and IMPORT commands allows users to specify the national language of the saved form. The values for this option are ENGLISH and SESSION, and are controlled by the global variable DSQEC_FORM_LANG.

Set DSQEC_FORM_LANG to 0 to use the language of the current session as the national language of the saved form.

The default value is 1, which specifies English as the language of the saved form.

If the user specifies the LANGUAGE keyword on the IMPORT or EXPORT command, that value overrides the current value of the DSQEC_FORM_LANG variable.

To change the national language displayed during a QMF session, the QMF user must end the current QMF session and begin another. You cannot change the language from within the QMF session.
