CEEFMDT—Get default date and time format

CEEFMDT returns the default date and time picture strings for the country specified by country_code. CEEFMDT is affected only by the country code setting of the COUNTRY runtime option or CEE3CTY callable service, not the CEESETL callable service or the setlocale() function.

country_code (input)

A 2-character fixed-length string representing one of the country codes found in Table 1. The country_code is not case-sensitive. Also, if no value is specified, the default country code (as set by either the COUNTRY runtime option or by CEE3CTY) is used. If you specify a country_code that is not valid, the default date/time picture string is 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS'.

datetime_str (output)

A fixed-length 80-character string (VSTRING), returned to the calling routine. It contains the default date and time picture string for the country specified. The picture string is left-justified and padded on the right with blanks, if necessary.

fc (output)

A 12-byte feedback code, optional in some languages, that indicates the result of this service. If you choose to omit this parameter, refer to Invoking callable services for the appropriate syntax to indicate that the feedback code was omitted.

The following symbolic conditions can result from this service:

Code	Severity	Message number	Message text
CEE000	0	—	The service completed successfully.
CEE3CF	2	3471	The country code `country_code` was invalid for CEEFMDT. The default date and time picture string `datetime_str` was returned.

Usage notes

z/OS UNIX considerations—CEEFMDT applies to the enclave. Every enclave has a single current country setting that has a single date and time format. Every thread in every enclave has the same default.

For more information

For a list of the default settings for a specified country, see Table 1.
See COUNTRY for an explanation of the COUNTRY runtime option.
See CEE3CTY—Set the default country for an explanation of CEE3CTY.

   /* get the default date and time format for Canada */
   memcpy(country,"CA",2);
   CEEFMDT(country,date_pic,&fc);
   if ( _FBCHECK ( fc , CEE000 ) != 0 ) {
      printf("CEEFMDT failed with message number %d\n",
             fc.tok_msgno);
      exit(2999);
   }
   /* print out the default date and time format */
