VPLUS 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 for an explanation of supported
languages.) NLS provides these specific features in VPLUS:
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 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.
