NM and CM callable.
Returns the information needed for formatting and converting numbers.
It combines several calls to NLINFO to simplify the use of
native language formatting. By calling NLNUMSPEC once, and
passing the obtained information to NLFMTNUM and NLCONVNUM,
implicit calls to NLNUMSPEC from NLFMTNUM and NLCONVNUM are
avoided and performance is improved.
Operation Notes |
 |
Split-stack calls are not permitted.
The intrinsic combines NLINFO calls with itemnums 9, 10, 31,
32, and 33. The information is formatted where needed (for example,
any spaces in the currency symbol/name are included). The currency
symbol/name is the shortest nonblank descriptor, as returned
from NLINFO itemnums 10 and 31.
This intrinsic does not provide any information not obtainable
with NLINFO. It is included for the convenience of the NLS
user. For efficiency, the user of this intrinsic calls it only
once, saves the result, and
calls NLFMTNUM and/or NLCONVNUM multiple times.
