language-name

A character string that contains the name of the current language. This value must be surrounded by quotes.

Use Language (-lng) to specify the initial return value for the CURRENT-LANGUAGE function. This setting determines from which r-code segment Progress reads character-string constants.

The default value for the Language parameter is a character string that contains the question mark (?) character, which is not to be confused with the UNKNOWN value. This tells Progress to use the default language for the application.

For more information on the Language startup parameter, see the Progress Internationalization Guide and Progress Language Reference.
