Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Translation Manager

Running code from the command line

If you decide to run the compiled code (r-code) directly from the command line, you should consider the following:

When you change the value of the CURRENT-LANGUAGE statement, you affect all the text phrases in the r-code that subsequently runs. Any r-code that is already on the run-time stack still runs with the previous CURRENT-LANGUAGE setting. Also, CURRENT-LANGUAGE is a global value. If you return to a previously running piece of r-code from the place where you changed the CURRENT-LANGUAGE, the value of CURRENT-LANGUAGE is the changed value, not the language with which the “old” r-code is running.
To query an r-code session to see the available languages, use the following code, where my.p is the name of the procedure you are running:

RCODE-INFO:FILE-NAME = "my.p". DISPLAY RCODE-INFO:LANGUAGES FORMAT "X(50)".
