Translating the ISPF messages text
All FM/Db2 ISPF messages are provided in English.
They are also provided in Japanese if you have installed the FM/Db2 Japanese component, and in Korean if you have installed the FM/Db2 Korean component. You can translate some or all of these messages into another language.
All FM/Db2 ISPF messages are stored in FMN.SFMNMENU. You translate a message as follows:
- Find the members in FMN.SFMNMENU that contain the messages you want to translate. The message members specific to FM/Db2 are all named FMNDzzzz or FMN2n.
- Create a library with the same characteristics as FMN.SFMNMENU, with the name FMN.SFMNMyyy, where yyy is the same language code you specified when you modified FMN2MENU. If you have already created a library with this name for translated File Manager Base function messages, use that library. Copy the required message members from FMN.SFMNMENU to this library.
- Change the required message texts in these members in your library.
To use the messages you have translated, see Using the translated messages and panels. For more information about defining and using ISPF messages, see z/OS ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide.
