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

LANGUAGE ATTRIBUTE 

VPLUS/V contains an NLS native language attribute option which allows the
applications programmer to design a forms file which reflects the native
language characteristics of the application.  Each forms file has a
global native language ID number.  The application may be unlocalized,
language-dependent, or international.  Refer to the Native Language 
Support Reference Manual for a list of the available native language ID
numbers and for examples of these applications.

Unlocalized (NATIVE-3000) 

If a native language ID number is not assigned to a forms file, it will
default to 0 (NATIVE-3000).  NLS features do not impact an unlocalized
forms file.

Language-Dependent 

Language-dependent forms files are used when the associated application
only operates in a single native language context.  The native language
ID number for the specific native language desired is assigned when the
forms file is designed.

International 

Multinational corporations may need to maintain a business language for
commands, titles, and menus in addition to accommodating the native
language of the user for the actual data retrieved or displayed.  For
this application, -1 is selected as the native language ID number for the
forms file.  The VPLUS/V intrinsic VSETLANG must be called at run-time to
assign the appropriate native language ID.
