If the LANGUAGE option is changed at compile time (using CBL or PROCESS statements), some initial text will be printed using the language that was in effect at the time the compiler was started.
NATLANG: The NATLANG runtime option allows you to control the national language to be used for the runtime environment, including error messages, month names, and day-of-the-week names. The LANGUAGE compiler option and the NATLANG runtime option act independently of each other. You can use them together with neither taking precedence over the other.
