How National Language Feature information is represented

QMF is available in several different languages, each of which is provided by a National Language Feature (NLF).

NLFs let users enter QMF commands, view help, and perform QMF tasks in languages other than English; they are installed as separate features of QMF. For more information about installing an NLF, see the NLF installation information in the appropriate operating system installation section in this book.

All tasks described in this book can be performed for the base QMF product (English language) and for any NLF. The procedures for both the base and NLF sessions are the same; however, any special considerations for NLF users are preceded by the phrase: If you are using an NLF.

Some names of programs and phases shown in this book have a n in them, indicating that the name can vary. If you are using an NLF, replace any n symbols you see in this book with the one-character national language identifier (NLID) from Table 1 that matches the NLF that you installed. The table also shows the names by which QMF recognizes each language.

The uppercase feature (UCF) uses the English language, but converts all text to uppercase characters. The uppercase characters allow users working with Katakana terminals to use the product and get English online help and messages. Terminals equipped with Katakana support include IBM 3277, 3278, and 3279 terminals, as well as IBM 5550 Multistations.
