CNLcccxx (time and date format for translated messages)

Use the CNLcccxx member of parmlib to specify how translated messages are to be displayed at your installation. CNLcccxx, which is called the message configuration member, allows you to specify the time and date format for translated messages, using the MONTH, DAY, DATE, and TIME statements, as follows:

Use the required MONTH statement to specify the month names that are to appear in your translated messages. MONTH1 specifies the month name for January, MONTH2 for February, and so on.
Use the required DAY statement to specify the names of the days of the week that are to appear in your translated messages. DAY1 specifies the name for Sunday, DAY2 for Monday, and so on.
Use the required DEFAULTS statement to define the default date and time formats for a language.
Use the optional DATE statement to specify the format for the date. Examples of different date formats are:
```
1/14/2000
14-1-2000
14 January 2000
```
Use the optional TIME statement to specify the format for the time. Examples of different time formats include:
```
11:46:12 PM
46 MINUTES PAST 11
23:46:12
```

You need one message configuration member for each language your installation supports. Each message configuration member is named CNLcccxx, where ccc is the appropriate language code (see Table 1 for a table of valid language codes) and xx identifies the member.

The message configuration member for a specific language is specified on the CONFIG keyword of the LANGUAGE statement in the MMSLSTxx parmlib member. For more information, see MMSLSTxx (MVS message service list).

IBM® provides you with message configuration members for English and Japanese in SYS1.PARMLIB (named CNLENU00 and CNLJPN00, respectively).
