<h1 class="topictitle1">Configure the primary language</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>A primary language consists of program code, textual data for each
|
||
|
|
licensed program ordered, and default national language cultural values.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The primary language is the language in which the system is serviced and
|
||
|
|
from which all language-dependent or cultural-dependent system values are
|
||
|
|
initialized. In addition, other system objects and functions assume attributes
|
||
|
|
based on the primary language. For example, messages appearing in the history
|
||
|
|
log always appear in the primary language.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For each licensed program installed on the server,
|
||
|
|
the national language version for the primary language is in the product library.
|
||
|
|
For example, the i5/OS™ operating
|
||
|
|
system ordered in Spanish is installed in library QSYS as the primary language.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The server provides default system values for each of the primary languages.
|
||
|
|
If some of the defaults do not meet the needs of your users, you can change
|
||
|
|
some language-dependent system values.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section" id="rbagsprimarylanguage__HDRUSEPRI"><a name="rbagsprimarylanguage__HDRUSEPRI"><!-- --></a><h4 class="sectiontitle">Select and change the primary language</h4><p>Choosing your primary language is important. i5/OS lets you
|
||
|
|
change your primary language to accommodate your business needs based on the
|
||
|
|
country in which you are operating. Keep in mind, however, that changing the
|
||
|
|
primary language can take several hours or longer to accomplish.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To
|
||
|
|
change a primary language on your system, you can order a different primary
|
||
|
|
language from IBM<sup>®</sup>.
|
||
|
|
If you have a secondary language tape for the language you want as your new
|
||
|
|
primary language, you can change the primary language from that tape. For
|
||
|
|
example, if you have a primary language of U.S. English, and a secondary language
|
||
|
|
of Canadian French, you can use the Canadian French secondary language tape
|
||
|
|
to change your primary language to Canadian French.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you change
|
||
|
|
a primary or secondary language, and want to continue receiving software and
|
||
|
|
documentation updates for future releases of licensed programs that you are
|
||
|
|
currently using, contact your IBM representative.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Selecting and
|
||
|
|
changing a primary language affects the following operational characteristics
|
||
|
|
of your system:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Cultural values of the user.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Language used to communicate with the system through user interfaces presented
|
||
|
|
through a workstation or printer (see the figure in the topic Example: How
|
||
|
|
locales work).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Implied character identifier (CHRID) of the character data stored in objects
|
||
|
|
other than database files, message files, and message queues on the system.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>All user-created files that have an implicit CCSID are tagged with
|
||
|
|
the job default CCSID (DFTCCSID).</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>If you change the primary language and the CCSID for the
|
||
|
|
data remains the same, there is no effect on your system. An example is to
|
||
|
|
change the primary language from the German MNCS to the Italian MNCS, of which
|
||
|
|
both use CCSID 00500. The multinational character set refers to character
|
||
|
|
set 00697 and code page 00500.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If changing the primary language includes changing the CCSID value, the
|
||
|
|
character data in objects other than database files might not be presented
|
||
|
|
properly through the system and user interfaces. The database manager automatically
|
||
|
|
converts character data unless conversion is suppressed by the application
|
||
|
|
that processes the file. Data in objects other than database files are displayed
|
||
|
|
correctly if the CHRID value of the display file, panel group, or menu is
|
||
|
|
*JOBCCSID.</li>
