In the character-based version of the program, this option is available only if you started the 3270 emulation program using the option (for more information, see Getting Started with 3270 Emulation). Otherwise, the Host Language menu item is not selectable, and this section does not apply.
This option is useful when you are communicating with a host computer in a different country. The choice you make here matches your local code page with the host code page. The choice of host language affects all your 3270 sessions; you cannot customize host language separately for each session.
To specify the correct host code page, use the following procedure:
From the Customize menu, choose Language Support. The dialog box shown in Choose Host Language Dialog Box, is displayed.
The list box shows the host languages that are available.
Select an entry from the Host Language list box.
Choose <OK>.
If you change code pages, a Warning dialog box is displayed to prompt you to confirm the change.
The Host Language list box includes the following entries:
The host language you select defines the characters that can be sent to the host from your terminal during 3270 emulation sessions. This means that the set of valid 3270 character keys may include some for which your keyboard has no corresponding key. In order to use these keys, you can remap your keyboard as described in Customizing Key Definitions; or you can use the compose sequences provided by the Solaris operating system to generate the characters (refer to your operating system documentation).
If you have a style file that uses a host language other than the default, you need to use the option when starting the 3270 emulation program in order to use this style file. If you use this style file without the option, the host language is assumed to be U.S. English, and all key mappings revert to the 3270 emulation program's default settings.
