|

|
|
<div><p>When you want to enable your application for different languages
|
||
|
|
and countries, consider the environments of the target systems in your naming
|
||
|
|
conventions.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use characters that are available, can be displayed, and can be printed
|
||
|
|
in all the target environments. Use only characters of the invariant character
|
||
|
|
set whenever you specify names for:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Libraries</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Database files</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Device files (display or printer)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Help panels</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Message files</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>User commands</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Programs</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Record formats</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fields</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>All other characters either vary their meaning or might not be available
|
||
|
|
on the keyboard.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To create an internationalized application, you need to divide your application
|
||
|
|
objects into related parts that are textual data and nontextual data. Your
|
||
|
|
naming conventions should be able to distinguish between these parts. You
|
||
|
|
should also be able to distinguish between the textual data of different languages.
|
||
|
|
You can do this by separating the objects into different libraries.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Scenario: Library naming convention</h4><p>Your library
|
||
|
|
naming convention can look like this:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>AAATTTLL</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>where:
|
||
|
|
<span class="uicontrol">AAA</span> is the application identification; <span class="uicontrol">TTT</span> is
|
||
|
|
the type of objects; and <span class="uicontrol">LLL</span> is the language code.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This
|
||
|
|
naming convention allows you to have all libraries that belong to an application
|
||
|
|
grouped together because you have a unique identifier (AAA) at the beginning.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The
|
||
|
|
second part (TTT) allows you to distinguish between different types of objects:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Textual data</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd> <ul><li>Display files</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Printer files</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Message files</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Help panels</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>User command</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Cultural values</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Database files with NLS-sensitive information and specifications</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>NLS-dependent program modules</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Nontextual data</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Programs</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Data</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Database files</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
<p>The third part (LLL) allows you to specify the national
|
||
|
|
language version for all the textual data parts. This allows you to use the
|
||
|
|
same names for objects of the different national language versions within
|
||
|
|
the different libraries. Your program is able to use different objects by
|
||
|
|
just rearranging the library list accordingly when the job is run.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The
|
||
|
|
initial library list can be taken from the job description. You can build
|
||
|
|
a new library list by specifying the library list in the INLLIBL parameter
|
||
|
|
of the Create Job Description (CRTJOBD) command for a new job description,
|
||
|
|
or of the Change Job Description (CHGJOBD) command for an existing
|
||
|
|
job description. The following figure shows an example of this.</p>
