NLS Function: Returns information about the current locale.
USE IFNLS
result = NLSGetLocaleInfo (type,outstr)
type |
(Input) INTEGER(4). NLS parameter requested. A list of parameter names is provided in NLS LocaleInfo Parameters. |
outstr |
(Output) Character*(*). Parameter setting for the current locale. All parameter settings placed in outstr are character strings, even numbers. If a parameter setting is numeric, the ASCII representation of the number is used. If the requested parameter is a date or time string, an explanation of how to interpret the format in outstr is provided in NLS Date and Time Format. |
The result type is INTEGER(4). The result is the number of characters written to outstr if successful, or if outstr has 0 length, the number of characters required to hold the requested information. Otherwise, the result is one of the following error codes (defined in IFNLS.F90):
NLS$ErrorInvalidLIType - The given type is invalid
NLS$ErrorInsufficientBuffer - The outstr buffer was too small, but was not 0 (so that the needed size would be returned)
The NLS$LI parameters are used for the argument type and select the locale information returned by NLSGetLocaleInfo in outstr. You can perform an inclusive OR with NLS$NoUserOverride and any NLS$LI parameter. This causes NLSGetLocaleInfo to bypass any user overrides and always return the system default value.
The following table lists and describes the NLS$LI parameters.

When NLSGetLocaleInfo ( type, outstr) returns information about the date and time formats of the current locale, the value returned in outstr can be interpreted according to the following tables. Any text returned within a date and time string that is enclosed within single quotes should be left in the string in its exact form; that is, do not change the text or the location within the string.
Day
The day can be displayed in one of four formats using the letter "d". The following table shows the four variations:
d |
Day of the month as digits without leading zeros for single-digit days |
dd |
Day of the month as digits with leading zeros for single-digit days |
ddd |
Day of the week as a three-letter abbreviation (SABBREVDAYNAME) |
dddd |

Month
The month can be displayed in one of four formats using the letter "M". The uppercase "M" distinguishes months from minutes. The following table shows the four variations:
M |
Month as digits without leading zeros for single-digit months |
MM |

MMM |
Month as a three-letter abbreviation (SABBREVMONTHNAME) |

The following table shows the numerous variations of the time format. Lowercase "h" denotes the 12 hour clock and uppercase "H" denotes the 24 hour clock. The lowercase "m" distinguishes minutes from months.
