| 1 | CA | Returns the calendar format in an 18 byte array.
The 18 bytes of the string for this definition are interpreted
as the format description for that language.
The following descriptors are valid: - D
1 byte day abbreviation - DD
2 byte day abbreviation - DDD
3 byte day abbreviation - M
1 byte month abbreviation - MM
2 byte month abbreviation - MMM
3 byte month abbreviation - MMMM
4 byte month abbreviation - mm
Numeric month of the year - dd
Numeric day of the month - yy
Numeric year of the century - yyyy
Numeric year - Nyy
National year - NPyy
National year that can include a before-period symbol - E
1-8 of these are replaced by an equal amount of bytes from
the emperor/country name
Valid separators are any special character.
For example, a format can be DDD, MMM DD, yyyy.
Using this format in NATIVE3000/XL results in FRI, MAY 25, 1984. |
| 2 | CA | Returns the custom date format in a 13 byte array.
The 13 bytes of the string for this definition are interpreted
as the custom date format description.
The following descriptors are valid: - mm
Numeric month of the year - dd
Numeric day of the month - yy
Numeric year of the century - yyyy
Numeric year - Nyy
National year - NPyy
National year that can include a before-period symbol
Valid separators are any special character. For example, a date format
can be yy/mm/dd. This format in NATIVE3000/XL results
in 81/03/25. |
| 3 | CA | Returns the clock specification in an 8 byte array.
This 8 byte string provides the clock format description
(template) HHSXXYYZ, where the elements specify the following: - HH
Clock hour specification, either '' or '$' - S
Separator; valid separators can be any special or alphabetic character,
or 0 for no separator between hours and minutes - XX
Symbol for AM - YY
Symbol for PM - Z
Suppresses leading zero (of hours) if blank; prints leading zero if 0
In suppression of leading zero, " " (leading zero
suppressed) or 0 (leading zero is printed) are valid.
For example, the format "12:AMPM " results in the formatted
clock information 9:06 AM; the leading zero is suppressed.
If the clock specification were changed to "240 0", the
formatted clock information for the same time is: 0906.
Note the four blanks used as place holders to ensure the correct
placement of the leading-zero suppression character. |
| 4 | CA | Returns the month abbreviation table in a 48 byte array.
Each abbreviation is 4 bytes long, using blank padding where
necessary to maintain uniform length in all native language
abbreviations. For example, the NATIVE3000/XL abbreviations contain
3 bytes plus a blank. The first 4 bytes of the array contain the
abbreviation of January. For example, the month abbreviation table
is:
"JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC " |
| 5 | CA | Returns the month table in a 144 byte array. Each month's
name can be up to 12 bytes long. Unused space in the month name is
padded with blanks where necessary to equal 12 bytes. The table begins
with the language-dependent equivalent in the native language specified
for January. For example, the month name table is:
"JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH ...DECEMBER" |
| 6 | CA | Returns the day abbreviation table in a 21 byte array.
Each abbreviation is 3 bytes long. The table begins with Sunday.
For example, the day abbreviation table is:
"SUNMONTUEWEDTHUFRISAT" |
| 7 | CA | Returns the table containing the day of the week in an
84 byte array. Each day is 12 bytes long (with blank padding as needed).
The table starts with Sunday. For example, the day name table is:
"SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY ...SATURDAY" |
| 8 | CA | Returns the YES/NO responses in a 12 byte array; the first
6 bytes contain the (upshifted) YES response; the second
6 bytes contain the (upshifted) NO response.
|
| 9 | CA | Returns the symbols for decimal separator and thousands
indicator in a 2 byte array. The first byte contains the decimal
separator, the second byte contains the thousands indicator.
The second byte can take a special value of 0. Do not take
this value literally as a thousands separator; it signifies the absence
of a thousands separator for the language chosen.
|
| 10 | CA | Returns the currency signs in a 6 byte array. The first
byte represents the short currency symbol (if any) used for business
formats; the second byte is a flag indicating whether the
currency symbol precedes or succeeds the number and whether the
currency symbol is preceded or succeeded by blanks. The last four
bytes contain the full currency symbol. The layout of the
second byte is: - Bits 0:4
0 - Currency symbol has no blanks preceding or succeeding it. 1 - Currency symbol has a blank preceding it. 2 - Currency symbol has a blank succeeding it. 3 - Currency symbol has blanks preceding and succeeding it. - Bits 4:4
0 - Currency symbol precedes the number. 1 - Currency symbol succeeds the number. 2 - Currency symbol replaces the decimal separator.
