   '-LANGTAB--(--USS_table_name--,--language_code--)-'   

Specifies the session-level USS table that VTAM® uses for USS messages and commands. It also specifies the language that is passed to the application program. This operand provides the same function as the LANG operand, except it does not use the MVS™ Message Service.
USS_table_name
Specifies the USS table that VTAM will search first for USS messages and commands. VTAM uses this USS table until the terminal operator issues another USS command using the LANGTAB operand.
language_code
Specifies a 3-character code used to specify the language that is passed to the application program during logon processing. If a valid LANG operand is also specified and the MVS Message Service is active, this parameter is overridden by the language specified with the LANG operand. For a list of valid values and for details on how the application obtains this information, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Programming.
Note:
  1. If you enter this operand without a USS table name, it removes the LANGTAB USS table (specified earlier) from the search hierarchy.
  2. If you enter this operand without a language code, the application receives the language from the LANG operand of the MODEENT macroinstruction (specified by LOGMODE).
