CMDLANG= parameter for procedures

Use the CMDLANG= parameter in procedure to specify the language to be used for IMS command text that is distributed to OM automation clients upon request. This value defaults to ENU for US English.

This parameter affects only the command descriptions that are displayed on a workstation SPOC that requests command text from OM.

The value is not validated at OM initialization time. It is validated only when a CSLOMQRY QUERY TYPE(CMDSYNTAX) request is issued. OM attempts to read a partitioned data set (PDS) member in the data set specified by the CMDTEXTDSN= with a member name of “CSLOT” concatenated with the 3 character CMDLANG= value. This is the member that contains the command syntax translatable text. The CMDLANG= value can be overridden on the CSLOMQRY request.

This is an optional execution parameter. If specified, it overrides the value specified in the CSLOIxxx PROCLIB member.
