Description

Use the LANGFILE parameter to specify the language for file processing operations such as ordering of data and processing LIKE and LANGLIKE patterns, character storage, and uppercase or lowercase translation. The LANGFILE parameter determines the character set in a file.

The value of LANGFILE can be a counted character string of one to eight characters or a null string. Its value must match the name of one of the character sets defined in the table below. Null, the default value, specifies U.S. English.

You cannot specify a LANGFILE parameter setting other than US for sorted files (FILEORG X'01' setting).

After you set the LANGUSER parameter for your terminal and printer support, you must choose the correct LANGFILE parameter option to support applications that meet your language requirements.
