Language of a Doors Module

Hi,
I'm new in DXL-programming, and I want to determine in which language a module of DOORS is written.
So do you guys know something how I can do this?

Thx,

Probably the first place to get started would be in the built-in DXL Reference, which is available from within DOORS by selecting the Help menu and then "DXL Reference Manual". This would give you an idea of how DOORS is built around the DXL language.
However, if all you're looking to do is create a new module based on an existing one, there are copy/paste methods that would get you there faster.
Lastly, if you're trying to "write" a DOORS module based on an existing Word document, that would be better accomplished by using the Export to DOORS icon that becomes available on the Word menu once the DOORS client has been installed on a given machine.
I hope one of these answers is helpful.

Hi,

I'm afraid there's no such feature as there is no way to tell DOORS in which language you want to write.

There's the "locale" of an attribute definition (see DXL help, title "Locales"), but this is usually only used for telling DOORS how to format dates, numbers etc.

Regards,
Mike

This is a module attribute.

Last friday there was a post about module accessing module properties, see thread "Accessing module attributes without opening the module", message from Peter_Albert.
