Adding a Language
To add a language, select option 1 from the LANGINST main menu. When the
Add Language to LANGDEF menu is displayed, enter:

is met:

the system.
* Entering a language not supported by NLS.
* Pressing Return.

supported but has not been previously configured. LANGINST
configures the language and displays a message.
2. When the addition is completed, the LANGINST main menu is
displayed.
Deleting a Language
LANGINST allows the system manager to delete any configured language
except NATIVE-3000 (which is hard-coded and therefore always configured)
and the system default language.
To delete a language, select option 2 from the LANGINST main menu. When
the Delete Language from LANGDEF menu is displayed, enter:
1. The language name or language ID number.
* The deletion is aborted if one of the following conditions
is met:
* Entering a language that is not configured on the
system.
* Entering the system default langauge.

configured but is not the system default language.

date information.
To modify local language formats, select option 3 from the LANGINST main
menu. When the Modufy Native Formats menu is displayed, enter:

The currency sign currently follows the number, 100DM.
The following currency codes are available:
<CR> to retain the existing value.
0 - The currency symbol precedes the number, $100.00.
1 - The currency symbol succeeds the number, 100.00DM.
2 - The currency symbol replaces the decimal point, 100$00.
Enter the required currency codes (0, 1, or 2) :Return
There are to be no blanks before or after the currency symbol.
The following blank-control codes are available:
<CR> to retain the existing value.
0 - No blanks before or after the currency symbol.
1 - A blank is to precede the currency symbol.
2 - A blank is to succeed the currency symbol.
3 - A blank is to precede and succeed the currency symbol.
Enter the required code (0, 1, 2, or 3):Return
After you make a selection, the current value is displayed and you are
prompted for a new value. If you enter a new value, LANGINST validates
and replaces the old value with the current one.
After you have made changes to the file, a new copy of it is saved under
the name LANGDEF and the old (unchanged) version of the file is saved
under the name LANGDxxx. The number xxx increases by one each time a new
copy of LANGDEF is saved. This allows the user to return to a
configuration that existed before LANGDEF was changed. To return to the
previous configuration, PURGE or RENAME the current LANGDEF then RENAME
the LANGDxxx with the highest number LANGDEF.
