SET LOCALE LANGUAGE

stephan_marx — Wed, 21 Dec 2005 17:01:17 GMT

Hello all,

I have a problem with SET LOCALE LANGUAGE.

I need to change SY-LANGU to get another text with the MESSAGE command, like this:

SY-LANGU is 'D'.

set locale language 'E'.

message id ... type ... number ... into ...

set locale language space.

That doesn't work. In debugger SY-LANGU has changed to english, but the MESSAGE command throws the german text.

Yes, the english text exists in the message class.

Any ideas ???

Thanks a lot for your help,

Stephan

give the message class in se91 and

select message and GOTO ->TRANSALTION.

it will ask you to maintain the translation from which lang to which lang.

U have set the language to EN.

In the message class as specified the english text exists. While displaying the text in where condition try to use langu = EN.

Also, may be u have logon in GE language. From System --> User Profile --> OWN DATA...check here whether the Language is other than English. ty to specify English in this column.

Thanks a lot.

But this doesn't solve my problem. These points are all done before trying to change the language. The text is translated in SE91 and SY-LANGU has changed to ENGLISH.

The only problem is, that the MESSAGE command ignores this and shows furthermore the german text.

Greetings,

Stephan

See the following help on SET LOCALE LANGUAGE and see of these system parameters are set appropriately.

<i>If the boolean SAP profile parameter abap/set_text_env_at_new_mode is set to 0 (the default is 1), the text environment is not set according to the language of the active user when a new internal session is opened, but according to the language of the application server (which is determined by the SAP profile parameter zcsa/system_language). Resetting the text environment with SET LOCALE LANGUAGE SPACE restores the text environment for the language of the application server.

If the boolean SAP profile parameter install/collate/active is set to 0 (the default is 1), SET LOCALE has no effect at all; furthermore, the text environment remains unchanged, even when a new internal mode is opened, and the locale category LC_COLLATE is not set at all by the SAP kernel. Accordingly, the SORT ... AS TEXT and CONVERT TEXT statements then also have no effect.</i>

Hello Srinivas,

I can't find this profile parameters in my installation using transaction RZ10, so I have to ask my admin tomorrow.

Thanks,

Stephan

Hi there,

The MESSAGE command seems to handle the login language every time and ignores sy-langu.

I found the functions CULI_GET_MESSAGE and CUTC_GET_MESSAGE, which do exactly what I want.

Thanks a lot,

Stephan

Thanks Stephen for sharing this with us. May be you can also look at MESSAGE_PREPARE. I was thinking that you wanted it by using SET LOCALE.
