Defining Language Names

Build processing for a like-source component is determined by the language name and compile procedure that are assigned to the component. Language names are defined in an application, and the pairs of language name and compile procedure that are defined in the application are verified against application language names.

Only language names defined in global administration can be defined in an application. However, an application does not have to contain all of the language names defined in global administration.

When you create a new application, the initial list of language names depends on how you create the application:

  • If you create a new application without copying an existing application, all global language names are copied into the application.
  • If you create a new application by copying an existing application, the language names for the new application are copied from the existing application.

Follow this procedure to update the application language names.

  1. On the Update Application Administration Options panel, type 3 on the Option line and press Enter. The application - Language Names panel is displayed.
