Why would I want to customize DCF at installation?
You might want to: 1. Translate the messages and generated text into another language. Examples of generated text: Strings used for table of contents and index, index page range separator, index page list separator. 2. Modify or delete command options. For example, make SYON the default command option or remove it entirely. 3. Change logical and/or physical device tables to support different printers or modify the way existing printers are supported. For example, you might want a 3812 device type. 4. Change the index sort sequence. For example, to sort based on codepages other than the country extended codepages. CONS--local mods must be reapplied after applying maintenance, problems must be demonstrated on unmodified source, need staff to support local mods, manuals won't reflect your mods.
