Logon Language

The logon language is defined when a user logs on to an AS ABAP for the entire user session and cannot then be changed. The current logon language can be determined using the method GET_LOGON_LANGUAGE of the class CL_ABAP_SYST.

The logon language influences the selection of the following texts:

• Texts on general classic dynpros

• Texts of messages

• Texts from text pools

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Note

The texts listed above are not affected by the statement SET LOCALE LANGUAGE. The statement SET LANGUAGE is used to change the language of the texts of a text pool.
