Chapter 8 NATIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
VPLUS/V Native Language Support (NLS) enables an applications designer to
create interactive user applications which reflect both the user's native
language and the local custom for numeric and date information in the
supported languages. (See Native Language Support Reference Manual
(32414-90001) for an explanation of supported languages.) NLS provides
these specific features in VPLUS/V:
* Native decimal and thousands indicators.
* Native language month names for dates.
* Alphabetic upshifting of native characters.
* Native characters in single value comparisons, table checks, and
range checks.
* Native collating sequence in range checks and single value
comparisons.
VPLUS/V does not support the application design process in native
languages. Form names, field identifiers and field tags support only
USASCII characters.
REFSPEC and REFORMAT do not use NLS features. These programs interact
with users in NATIVE-3000 only.
