| subject: | Querying country info |
Could somebody please give me a little hint on querying the country
information that can be specified under System Setup|Country|Date? And
if this is not the usual place to look, why is it there?
I assumed OS/2 would store this kind of information in only one place.
When I found the DosQueryCtryInfo() function I figured the information
it returned was an image of the Country info accessible via the WPS.
Unfortunately, DosQueryCtrlInfo() returns a date format of "mm-dd-yy"
which is not what I have programmed ("yy/mm/dd"). It does, however,
match what the DIR command uses for its dates.
Assuming the answer is something like "you can't get those settings" my
question becomes: how can I change from the default date setting of
"mm-dd-yy"? Is this something to do with COUNTRY.SYS? I have a funny
feeling SOM is involved here somewhere... Thanks for any help!
