| 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. |
|

the specified language in a 16 byte array. If the name contains fewer than
16 bytes, it is padded with blanks. |

number (in ASCII digits) terminated by a blank. The array can be <= 16
bytes. The associated language ID number is returned to
langnum. |

set specified is supported (configured) on the system. Otherwise, 0 is
returned. |
| 24/CA | Passes a character set name or
number (in ASCII digits) terminated by a blank. The array can be <= 16

words) of the national-dependent information table. If no national table
exists for the specified language, error=4 is
returned. |
| 29/U16 | Returns the
national-dependent information table. To determine the size of this array,
you must first obtain the length with a call to NLINFO
itemnum=28. |
| 30/CA | A 36 byte array where the long
calendar format is returned. It can contain arbitrary text and the

special characters are taken literally within a format. For example, a
format of WWWWWWWWW, OOOOOOOOO dd, A.~D.yyyy
results in: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, A.D. 1984. |
