Activating NLS

GDDM/MVS V3R2 Program Directory
GC33-1801-01



This task applies only if you have installed a national language other than U.S. English.

If you have installed NLS for languages other than U.S. English, you use the NATLANG external default to define these languages to GDDM to enable your users to use them. You can define the GDDM NATLANG external default in one of two places, and these are accessed in the following order:

  1. The external defaults file. This applies to TSO and CICS only.
  2. The external defaults module: ADMADFT for TSO, ADMADFC for CICS, and ADMADFI for IMS.
    
    
To specify a national language other than U.S. English for your enterprise, add the following line to the external defaults file or the external defaults module:


      ADMMDFT NATLANG=N

where N defines the new language selected, in this instance Norwegian. The line must start with a space in column 1.

For more information about GDDM user-default specifications, see the GDDM System Customization and Administration book.
