Finding out what language information RACF has about you

Your user profile might contain information about your language. RACF® lists the following information from the LANGUAGE segment of the user profile:

The user's primary language, if one has been specified (PRIMARY LANGUAGE)
The user's secondary language, if one has been specified (SECONDARY LANGUAGE)

Note: The RACF security administrator controls whether you can view all or some of the details of your language information.

The language information in the LISTUSER output has the following format:

Figure 1. LISTUSER output: description of the language information

USER=your user ID

LANGUAGE INFORMATION
--------------------
 PRIMARY LANGUAGE:   specified primary language
 SECONDARY LANGUAGE: specified secondary language

Note:

The ability to view and update language information can be controlled on a field by field basis; therefore, any individual field might not appear on your output.
The 3-character language code, and if defined, the 24-character language name is displayed. NOT SPECIFIED indicates that no language has been specified.

To see the language information, issue the LISTUSER command as follows:

LISTUSER your-userid LANGUAGE NORACF

If there is language information in your user profile, you see output similar to this:
