HL = Destination buffer (at least 16 bytes required)
HL has to be in segment 2 or 3
OUT, if call successful:
Fc = 0
HL = null terminated string desired
DE = zero at the end of the string
B = number of characters written to buffer (except trailing zero)
OUT, if call failed:
Fc = 1
A = error code
Registers changed after return:
...C..HL/IXIY same
AFB.DEHL/.... different |
Notes
The call is useful to get country localized full or short string of day of the week or month name. An example of the usage can be read in Calendar popdown source code.
The localized string of 'Today, Yesterday or Tomorrow' is available. It is used by GN_Sdo to output today instead of formatted date as seen in Index application.
The buffer on entry has to be in segment 2 or 3, segment 1 is used by the Date Filter Definition Table (FDT).
