LANGINST
Operation
• Entering a language not supported by NLS.
• Pressing
Return.
• The addition continues if a language is requested that is 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.
• Pressing
Return.
• The deletion continues if the language requested is configured but is not the system
default language.
2. When the deletion is completed, the main menu is displayed.
