Returns the current value of the CURRENT-LANGUAGE
variable.
Note: Does not apply to SpeedScript programming.
Example
The
following example displays a message indicating the setting of your CURRENT-LANGUAGE:
r-curlng.p
DEFINE VARIABLE cur-lang AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
cur-lang = CURRENT-LANGUAGE.
IF cur-lang = "?" THEN
MESSAGE "Your current language is not set.".
ELSE
MESSAGE "Your current language is" cur-lang.

Notes
- An
r-code file may contain several text segments each associated with
a different language. The setting of the CURRENT-LANGUAGE variable
determines from which r-code text segment the AVM reads character-string
constants.
- If the value of CURRENT-LANGUAGE is a quoted question mark ("?"),
the AVM reads character-strings from the default text segment.
- The value of CURRENT-LANGUAGE might be a comma-separated list
of language names. If so, the AVM searches r-code for a text segment that
matches the first language in the list. If that segment is not found,
then it searches for a text segment for the next entry in the list
until a segment is found.
- You can initialize the CURRENT-LANGUAGE variable with the Language
(-lng) parameter.
- The behavior of CURRENT-LANGUAGE when one procedure calls another
is as follows:
- If a procedure changes the value of CURRENT-LANGUAGE,
calls from the procedure to the CURRENT-LANGUAGE function return
the name of the new language, but the procedure continues to use
the character strings of the original language.
- If the procedure then runs another procedure, when the called procedure
gets control, calls from the called procedure to the CURRENT-LANGUAGE
function return the name of the new language, and the called procedure
uses the character strings of the new language.
- When the called procedure finishes and control returns to the original
procedure, calls from the original procedure to the CURRENT-LANGUAGE
function return the name of the new language, but the original procedure
continues to use the character strings of the original language.
