| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
With VA FileMan 22.2, the LANGUAGE file (#.85) has been
updated to contain ISO 639-1 and 639-2 compatible languages. This file can be
used as a Pointer to file for any field that wants to reference a language.
Any application that points to this file should set screening logic to
constrict the user selection. The screening logic should use the TYPE field
(#.07), $P(^(0),U,7), which is a set of codes:
'L' FOR Living
'C' FOR Constructed
'A' FOR Ancient
'H' FOR Historical
'E' FOR Extinct
If you only want to allow selections of languages that are currently spoken,
you can use the following:
S DIC("S")="I $P(^(0),U,7)=""L"""
Also, read access is permitted using FileMan APIs.
Amended: 1/3/23 Added Field.03 THREE LETTER CODE for use by REGISTRATION,
INCOME VERIFICATION MATCH effective with patch DG*5.3*1085/IVM*2.0*208
