Overview

An NL-enabled function is a device function in which screen or report literals are generated as external prompt messages, which can then be translated into other national languages. Prompt messages are stored in a prompt message file named by the YPMTMSF model value. The prompt message file for each national language is stored in a separate library. Which national language messages are retrieved at execution time depends on which library is highest on the library list.

To implement the exit program, the following objects are supplied in Y2SYSRC:

• Source for the exit program (YPRCMSGR1R).
• Database files consisting of two physical files with a logical file over each.

When these objects are compiled and the program object for YPRCMSGR1R exists in the library list, the exit program is called automatically whenever an NL-enabled function is copied.
