1214 z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference
Use SET CPLANGUAGE to change the language of your virtual machine or the
entire system.
langid
is the language to which the virtual machine is to be set; langid must be 1 to 5
characters long and must consist of CMS file system characters only.
USER
specifies that the default language is being set for the user.
SYSTEM
specifies that the default language is being set for the entire system.
1. Be aware of the language-related terminal restrictions when you specify a
language. If you are not sure what characters your terminal can display, check
with your system administrator.
2. The QUERY CPLANGLIST command displays all the valid language IDs that
you can set in CP. To display the language that is currently active for CP in your
virtual machine, enter the QUERY CPLANGUAGE command. Contact your
system administrator if you have any questions about the languages available
on your system.
3. The system default language is set with the CPLANGUAGE operand of the
USER_DEFAULTS system configuration statement or with the CP SET
CPLANGUAGE command. The order of precedence, from highest priority to
lowest, that determines an individual user’s language is:
v SET CPLANGUAGE command specified by the individual user
v the value specified for the LANG operand of the OPTION statement in the
user’s directory
v the system default language, and then
v the language that is built into the CP nucleus.
4. If the system default language is changed, the response to QUERY
CPLANGLIST will show the new system default language. If the user is using
the system default language, the user’s current language will not change until
