OLANG Subcommand (SET command)

The OLANG subcommand controls the language that is used in output. OLANG does not apply to simple text output. Available languages may vary. (The General tab in the Options dialog box displays a list of available output languages.) Valid language keywords include English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, TChinese (traditional Chinese), SChinese (simplified Chinese), Polish, Russian, and BPortugu (Brazilian Portuguese).

Output that is produced after the command is executed will be in the specified language (if that language is available). Additional language materials may be available for downloading from the IBM® Corp. web site.

Depending on the language, you may also need to switch to UNICODE mode or change the LOCALE setting to match the output language for characters to render properly.

Example

SET OLANG = German.
  • The language keyword is not case-sensitive.
  • Do not enclose the language keyword in quotation marks or other string delimiters.
