• The addition continues if a language is requested that is supported but has not been previously
configured. LANGINST configures the language and displays a message.

Deleting a Language
LANGINST allows the system manager to delete any configured language except NATIVE-3000 (which is
hard-coded and therefore always configured) and the system default language.
To delete a language, select option 2 from the LANGINST main menu. When the Delete Language from
LANGDEF menu is displayed, enter:
1. The language name or language ID number.
• The deletion is aborted if one of the following conditions is met:
• Entering a language that is not configured on the system.
• Entering the system default langauge.
• Pressing
Return.
• The deletion continues if the language requested is configured but is not the system default language.
2. When the deletion is completed, the main menu is displayed.
Modifying Local Formats
As the system manager, you can modify the following local formats for any configured language:
• Date format (dateline format).
• Custom date format (short).
• Time format.
• Currency sign/name.
• Decimal and thousands indicator.
• Month names.
• Abbreviated month names.
• Weekday names.
• Abbreviated weekday names.
• Yes/no indicators.
• Direction of text.
• ASCII/EBCDIC translation tables.
• National date table.
If the language supports a special national table containing date information ( such as KATAKANA), the last
option lets the user modify the date information.
To modify local language formats, select option 3 from the LANGINST main menu. When the Modufy Native
Formats menu is displayed, enter:
