|
<div><p>You can define online help by using either panel groups or records.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>By using either panel groups, <dfn class="term">online help</dfn> can be defined as
|
||
|
|
objects into which user interface manager (UIM) source is entered. By using
|
||
|
|
records, <dfn class="term">online help</dfn> can be defined as a set of DDS keywords
|
||
|
|
contained in a source file member.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the user interface manager is used for defining online help, the panel
|
||
|
|
groups are defined either in place of DDS or in the display file. In either
|
||
|
|
case, the encoding of the data to be displayed must be indicated by the CHRID
|
||
|
|
value in the display file or the panel group. A panel group is an object that
|
||
|
|
can be used to contain help information. The operating system uses *PNLGRP
|
||
|
|
as an identifier for the object type that contains a collection of help information.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Guidelines: Online help</h4><p>When defining online help
|
||
|
|
information to be translated into national language versions, keep in mind
|
||
|
|
the following considerations about panel groups and records:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Records do not have word processing available (functions such as spell
|
||
|
|
check and word wrap though system APIs exist to provide spell checking).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Various i5/OS™ messages and panel groups determine
|
||
|
|
the national language conventions and translations. Not all countries have
|
||
|
|
a national language version available for the operating system. Not all national
|
||
|
|
language versions are completely translated, with many parts still in English.
|
||
|
|
The messages and panel groups that are not translated do not reflect the national
|
||
|
|
language cultural conventions. The command design information includes an
|
||
|
|
example of a translated panel in which part of the panel has remained in English
|
||
|
|
because not all parts of the NLV were translated.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Allow for translation expansion.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Guidelines: DDS online help design</h4><p>When multiple
|
||
|
|
languages are installed on one system, the help documents are stored in different
|
||
|
|
folders. The DDS source file needs to be copied, changed, and compiled again
|
||
|
|
for each language on the system.</p>
