information for the German version of the LIST command by using a different cultural
indicator, for example, “DE.” Both versions of the command then exist in the
command help database, uniquely identified by the cultural indicator.
A cultural indicator is assigned to a command when the command is imported from a
command help edit file to the command help database, as described later in this
section. You can specify a cultural indicator from one through eight characters in
length. The cultural indicator can include any displayable characters. If you do not
specify a cultural indicator, NonStop NET/MASTER MS uses the value specified by
the Language Code field in your user ID definition record, described next.
Caution The Language Code field does not currently accept values more than two characters in length.
Therefore, you should currently restrict installation-defined cultural indicators to a maximum of two
characters in length.
If you have two versions of the LIST command (in U.S. English and German), you can
display them both using the Help Maintenance facility, as described later in this
section. The following screen displays two versions:

The Language Code
Assigned to a User
A language code is an indicator assigned to a NonStop NET/MASTER MS user in the
Language Code field of the user user’s ID definition record.
Every user is assigned a language code. The default value of the Language Code field
is determined by the value of the SYSPARMS LANG system parameter, which has two
possible values: “US” (the default) and “UK.”
See Section 4, “Managing User Access and Privileges,” for more information on user
ID definition records and the Language code field.
