I am constructing a system which needs the screens to be presented to each
user in the langauage of their choice(eg English, German, French, Italian
and Greek).

I am initially exploring this using message files via the ERRMSGID and
MSGCON keywords in the DDS. But it seems one has to designate the exact
message file at compilation and so compile the DDS once for each language
used which is a pain and means one has to retain multiple libraries of
screens.

Perhaps the COBOL programs could populate the texts on screen using a
different msg file via OVRDBF at run time but what about the time overhead
and the normal DDS ERRMSG processing would be lost.

Anyone got any experience in this area? Any ideas or tips ideas gratefully
appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Chris
