Set_Locale¶

Include: Use System\Locale.pkg

See Also: Locale constants, Get_Locale, Push_Locale, Pop_Locale

Purpose¶

Sets the active program locale.

Syntax¶

Set_Locale to sLocale
Set_Locale sLocale

Arguments¶

sLocale : A string value or locale constant such as DF_LOCALE_NATIVE, DF_LOCALE_POSIX, DF_LOCALE_USA, DF_LOCALE_EUROPE, DF_LOCALE_MILITARY, DF_LOCALE_ISO8601, or DF_LOCALE_ECMASCRIPT.

Returns¶

None.

Behavior¶

Set_Locale sets the active DF_LOCALE attribute. Accepted built-in names are listed in Locale constants. A non-string argument is a compile-time command error. An empty or unsupported locale value raises a DataFlex error through Set_Attribute DF_LOCALE.

Example¶

Use System\Locale.pkg

Procedure WriteIsoStamp DateTime dtStamp
    String sStamp

    Push_Locale
    Set_Locale to DF_LOCALE_ISO8601
    Move dtStamp to sStamp
    Pop_Locale
