6.7.4 User Definitions of Language, and Date and Time Formats
A user can specify a choice of language by defining the SYS$LANGUAGE logical.
For example:
$ DEFINE SYS$LANGUAGE FRENCH
A user can also specify a date and time format by defining the LIB$DT_FORMAT
logical. For example:
$ DEFINE LIB$DT_FORMAT LIB$DATE_FORMAT_002, LIB$TIME_FORMAT_006
6.8 Saving Your Customization
Once you have installed and customized your system, Compaq recommends that
you back up your system disk. To do so, follow the instructions in Section 11.17.
On VAX systems, back up the console volume (if applicable). If your computer
has a console storage device, make a backup copy of your console volume in case
your original becomes corrupted. The operating system provides a command
procedure called CONSCOPY.COM (in the SYS$UPDATE directory), which copies
your console volume to a blank one.
The procedure for backing up the console volume varies for different computers.
For specific instructions on backing up the console volumes, refer to the upgrade
and installation supplement for your VAX computer.
