Documentation
Definition
Selection of allowed processing languages as single character ID code (e.g. D = German, E = English).
Use
The language is part of the default setting for documentation maintenance.
Procedure
Select the language with the function Options -> Language.
Examples
Dependencies
The language in which the module is processed is considered as the master language, that is, the language to be used for further processing and the source language for translations.
If, for any reason, you want to process a module in a language other than the master language, a raw version of the documentation module to be processed must already exist. If this is not the case, save the documentation module again in the master language with the setting
raw version.
Using the language you have just set, generate a generic list containing the documentation module to be processed with the function Open. It is not possible to fetch the documentation module to be processed directly.
You can now process and save the module in the other language. For further processing operations use generic access.
