Subsystem attributes

Subsystem attributes provide the overall characteristics of the subsystem. Attributes include the system-library list entry and a text description of the subsystem description.

1. Specify the national language version for the subsystem library entry parameter.

   By creating a subsystem for each secondary language on your system, you can ensure that secondary language users have access to textual data in their own language. Within each subsystem, you can arrange the order of libraries in the library list so the textual data for the appropriate secondary language is at the top of the system library list. For example, if you have a primary language of Danish, and a secondary language of German, you can add a library at the top of the system library list in the German subsystem. Jobs running in the German subsystem then use the library at the top of the system part of the library list and a search for German textual data is successful.

   If you add a subsystem-library list entry for a national language version library:

   • Do not add the library to the QSYSLIBL system value.
   • Be sure that there are no more than 14 libraries in the QSYSLIBL list before adding your additional library entry. (The maximum number of list entries for the system part of the library is 15.)
2. Specify the signon display using the national language version library.
3. Create or duplicate objects that all users of the secondary national language version need in the national language version library.
4. Add workstation entries for these workstations that are specifically configured for this national language version.
