Customizing FM/CICS for national languages

You can customize FM/CICS for national languages other than English.

If you are using a language other than English, you will need to perform some or all of the customization tasks listed in Summary of steps for customizing FM/CICS for a national language.

Unlike other File Manager components, if you are using Japanese or Korean you will have to perform the first task, Setting the LANGUAGE option in FMN3POPT, even if you have installed the FM/CICS Japanese or Korean components.

You will also have to do this if you plan to use the File Manager base function interface under FM/CICS.
