Maint

All valid values for the Maint built-in attribute that might be translated are in the MLSLIBRARY file. In particular, translations of the values Add, CHG, DEL, PUR, and INQ are accessible within logic as the built-in attributes Glb.Add, Glb.Chg, Glb.Del, Glb.Pur, and Glb.Inq, respectively.

Report Display items

Report Display items are hard-coded in your built Reports. Different Report names must be used to obtain different language versions.
