A QMF National Language Feature (NLF) is a non-English version of QMF. When running a QMF NLF, you can issue QMF commands in the presiding language or in English by setting a QMF global variable. When you choose English, the QMF panels appear in the presiding language, but only English commands are accepted.
If you select English, any NLF session can run a procedure that is written in English (as long as all the QMF commands in the procedure are in English). This increases the portability of procedures among the various NLFs by providing a common language for QMF commands.
In addition, you can use the following English commands in any QMF NLF session without switching to English:
