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

ENTRY AND LANGUAGE ID NUMBER 

The native language ID assigned for the forms file language determines
the native language used by ENTRY unless the file is international (-1).
ENTRY uses the intrinsic VGETLANG to identify the native language ID
assigned by the forms designer for the forms file language.

If the forms file is international, ENTRY calls the NLS intrinsic
NLGETLANG (mode 1).  If it returns a value of UNKNOWN, the user is
prompted for a native language ID number.  Once a valid native language
ID number is determined, ENTRY calls the VSETLANG intrinsic to specify
the corresponding native language.

The batch file does not have a native language indicator.  Users with
different native languages may collect data in the same batch file if the
associated forms file is international.
