Description
The SET LANGUAGE TO command specifies the language to be used in the COLLATE() function and also the collating sequence for SORT operations. The COLLATE() function recognizes foreign characters and places the specified character expression correctly within the existing sequence. On execution of the SET LANGUAGE TO command, the appropriate language translation table is loaded from the ’terminals’ directory. The following languages are supported:
- AMERICAN
- BELGIAN
- BRITISH
- CHINESE
- DANISH
- DUTCH
- FINNISH
- FLEMISH
- FRENCH
- GERMAN
- ITALIAN
- JAPANESE
- NORWEGIAN
- RUSSIAN
- SPANISH
- SWEDISH
The character translation table for the specified language should be specified in the ’terminals’ directory in a filename equivalent to:
<terminal-type>-<first-3-characters-of-language>.ncs
For example, the german translation table for the VT200 terminal can be found in the file: vt200-ger.ncs.
