HP Data Entry and Forms Management System (VPLUS/V)

VSETLANG 

The VSETLANG intrinsic specifies the native language to be used with an
international forms file.  For more information on Native Language
Support, see Section 8.

Syntax 

             VSETLANG {comarea,langnum,errorcode}

Parameters 

comarea          Must be comarea name specified when the forms file was
                 opened with VOPENFORMF. If not already set, the
                 following comarea items must be set before calling
                 VSETLANG:

                 comarealen       Set to the total number of two-byte
                                  words in comarea.

                 VSETLANG may set the following comarea items:

                 cstatus          Set to nonzero value if call is
                                  unsuccessful.

langnum          A two-byte integer, passed by value, containing the
                 native language ID number of the forms file language to
                 be used by VPLUS/V.

errorcode        Two-byte integer to which the error code is returned.

Discussion 

This intrinsic sets the native language to be used by VPLUS/V at run time
for an international forms file.  The forms file must be opened before
calling VSETLANG. Otherwise, cstatus returns a nonzero value.

If VSETLANG is called to set the native language ID for a
language-dependent or unlocalized forms file, an error code of -1 will be
returned to errorcode.  For international forms files, both cstatus and
errorcode return a value of zero and the forms file is processed with the
native language ID specified in langnum.
