i5/OS (5722-SS1): Operating system licensed products 561
Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486LPOpS.fm
Primary and secondary national languages
The national language in which licensed programs are ordered is considered the
primary national language. New in V5R3 is the ability to order additional primary
languages for use in LPAR situations where some partitions support a different
country (region) to other partitions.
Second languages in a single partition are known as
secondary languages. Users
can switch among the languages as necessary. Multiple national language
versions can be installed on a single iSeries server. Regardless of the national
language version, all system commands are in U.S.A. English. Therefore, a
single set of system commands works in all national language environments.
Universal Coded Character Set support
Many customers do business in a worldwide environment. It is too costly and
time consuming to redesign and rewrite an application to support users in
another national language or culture. These applications require the ability to
store and process character data from more than one national language.
For example, a database file may need to contain customer names in English,
German, Greek, Arabic, Japanese, and Thai characters. This capability must be
available in a client/server environment and in a network of heterogeneous
systems that exchanges character data via customer applications.
