Adding a language to the text table

To translate message text into a different language, add an SYRTMAMT entry, containing an entire set of messages, to the SOURCE library member AMD2CAMX. To add the entry, copy and modify an existing SYRTMAMT entry (U.S. English, French, or German) as follows:

1. Place the copied SYRTMAMT entry in the text table just above the following line:

   SYRTMAMT TYPE=FINAL
   

2. Change the LANG property to match the language identification passed to AMD2 for the target language.

   The first line of the new entry should look like this:

   SYRTMAMT TYPE=ENTRY,LANG={us_english|german|french},
   

3. Replace the message text with a translation in the target language.

   • For information about the variable indicators, %s, %d and %S, see “Message variable indicators”.

   • Be sure the translated text follows the guidelines in “Rules for text table entries”.
