2741.0. "Importing DX file leaves language blank" by MUGGER::SWCA07::HESLOP () Fri May 21 1993 15:27

    When importing a DX document as WPL, the print setting language is left
    blank. This is done by a batch file which then mails the document.
    
    I would like to be able to set language whilst in the batch process.
    How could I do this.
    
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Brian,
    
    Look at note 1939.1 in this conference.  I think you will
    also want to check DDIF::CDA.
    
    Are you asking to change the language after the conversion of
    the document?

    Thanks for the reply,
    
    Note 1939.1 doesn't seem to exist.
    
    It doesn't matter wether the language is changed during the dx -> wpl
    conversion, or afterwards.
    
    Thanks,
    Brian
2741.3Only for older .WPL filesIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Mon May 24 1993 11:4816
I tried the following:

    1.	Convert a V4 .WPL file (with the language field set) to .DX

    2.	Convert the .DX file back to .WPL

and the language field in the final .WPL file is set to the original value.

Therefore it would appear that the language setting is only blank when 
converting older .DX files.  The language field will be set the first time 
the WPS-PLUS V4 editor is to edit the file.  I'm not sure what the WPS-PLUS 
V4 formatter will do.  I suggest you ask in the WPS-PLUS conference.

2741.4trying WPSMUGGER::SWCA06::HESLOPMon May 24 1993 18:027
    As I understand the language field in stored in the extended header
    introduced in V4 WPS, this extended header is not present in the old DX
    file.
    I'll try asking the question in the WPS conference.
    
    Thanks,
    Brian
