Re: Running MAPICS in a Single Environment Globally

Barbie, 
I looked into this a long time ago.. So I am not sure this still applies. Let's 
say your env is MM
I believe the language library would be higher in the library list then AMALIB, 
AMFLIB, AMTLIBx... 
What I thought it did was create a language library/overlay library. In your 
case a French overlay library and a German overlay library. for example 
OVERLAYF (French) OVERLAYG (GERMAN)
you would then manually create 2 new MMLIST records. That would be an exact 
duplicate of the MM. 
An MF record with the OVERLAYF library before the AMALIB and a MG record with 
the OVERLAYG library before the AMALIB again. 
If the user pick the env, then the French would enter MF and the Germans MG. If 
the signon has a proc to take them directly then 2 new procs would need to be 
created and the French user to the French proc and the German user to the 
German proc and the US user would not have to change.
This is not a difficult as this looks... I HOPE... contact me offline if you 
have any other questions
I hope this is what you are looking for

Has any one encountered the need to run MAPICS on a single AS/400, in a single 
environment, in multiple languages and using the PTF SH14389 (ability to run 
multi-language in a single environment)? I am trying to understand how our 
customers run globally using MAPICS in a single environment. The 3 countries 
that would be using the system is France, Germany, and the US. Any 
implementation suggestions or comments would be most helpful.
