DB2 Server for VSE & VM: Operation

Choosing a National Language

Using the following command, you can choose a national language for messages on the operator console:

>>-SET LANGuage----+-language-+-------------------------------->< '-langid---'

You must specify the language or a language ID. The language you choose must be one installed on the application server. If you are using VSE/ESA, you cannot choose a double-byte character set (DBCS) language, because the VSE operator console does not support DBCS.

Note:

ISQL users can choose a double-byte character set (DBCS) when issuing the SET LANGUAGE command. KANJI is one example of a language that uses a double-byte character set. Keyword Description language is any language installed on the application server. You must use one of the names in the LANGUAGE column of the SQLDBA.SYSLANGUAGE catalog table. For more information on the SYSLANGUAGE table, see Appendix A of the DB2 Server for VSE & VM Database Administration manual. langid is the language ID of any language installed on the application server. You must use one of the language IDs in the LANGID column of the SQLDBA.SYSLANGUAGE table. You can also use language IDs that CMS supports. Valid language IDs are: AMENG American English UCENG Uppercase English FRANC French GER German KANJI Kanji (Japanese) HANZI Simplified Chinese
