      dmpappclmphr [-l language [-t]] dumpfile productline [systemcode]

    2. Type the following data selections.
      Program Option Description
      -l language Dump column phrase in this language.
      -n Do not dump extended translations.
      -t Dump only those phrases that do not have translations for the indicated language.

      Example: Dump Application Column Phrases

      The output from dmappclmphr is stacked as it appears on a form. The comment line includes the maximum column translation size and number of lines. The following example shows sample output from dmappclmphr.

      ~$| Rate Reciprocal
~# Maximum Column Translation Size = 13, 2 Lines
  Rate
Reciprocal
~$|  To Currency
~# Maximum Column Translation Size = 10, 2 Lines
  To
Currency
  2. Translate the column phrases in the ASCII text file in your word processing or translation program.
    Note: The ASCII text file must have been created by dmpappclmphr so that it contains the ~$ lines that indicate the addresses for each column phrase. Do not change any line that begins with ~$ or ~#. These lines are address lines and size information lines that enable the translations to load to the proper location in the Environment. Type the translated text below the address and size information lines.
  3. Load the application column phrase translation file into the Environment.
    1. In your word processing or translation program, save the file of translated phrases as an ASCII (text only) file.
    2. Transfer the file from your PC to the server.
    3. At the command line, type:

      ldappclmphr dumpfile language

    4. Type the following selections.
      Field Description
      dumpfile File containing the translated phrases.
      language Language the phrases have been translated into.
    5. Press Enter.

      The program overwrites all existing phrases for that product line and language.
