Translating the ISPF messages text
All File Manager ISPF messages are provided in English.
They are also provided in Japanese if you have installed the Japanese component of File Manager. You can translate some or all of these messages into other languages.
All File Manager 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 the File Manager base function are all named FMNBzzzz or FMNMnn.
- Create a library with the same characteristics as FMN.SFMNMENU, with the name FMN.SFMNMyyy, where yyy is the same language code that you specified to change your print and display translation tables. (See step 4.a.) 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.
