PCA$HELP.HLB  —  SET  LANGUAGE
    PCA Command

    Establishes the current language setting. The current language
    setting determines how symbol names are parsed.

    Format

      SET LANGUAGE  language-name

1  –  Parameters

 language-name

    Specifies the name of the language to be set. The valid language
    names are Ada, (Ada is a registered trademark of the U.S.
    government, Ada Joint Program Office.), BASIC, BLISS, C, C_PLUS_
    PLUS, COBOL, DIBOL, FORTRAN, MACRO, Pascal, PLI, RPG, SCAN, and
    UNKNOWN.

2  –  Description

    The language setting determines how PCA parses symbol names in
    command input. If the language is set to C/C++, PCA treats symbol
    names as case-sensitive. Upper-case and lower-case letters are
    then treated as different characters. If the language is set to
    anything other than C/C++, symbol names are assumed to be case
    insensitive, and lowercase letters are treated as if they were
    uppercase letters.

    When you use the SET DATAFILE command, the language setting is
    determined by the language of the main routine in the program.
    Normally, you need not change this setting. However, if you have
    a mixed-language program which includes C/C++ modules, you may
    have to change the language setting before you can reference
    symbols that include lowercase letters.

  PCAC> SET LANGUAGE PASCAL

      This command changes the language setting to Pascal. Symbol
      names are then parsed by Pascal rules. (Pascal is case
      insensitive.)
