LO74508: TYPE MISMATCH WHEN USING LOTUSSCRIPT SECOND/MINUTE/HOUR FUNCTION WITH TIME HAVING FOREIGN CHARACTERS FOR AM/PM

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When setting Windows/Client to some Foreign language, causes
  the
  Second/Minute/Hour functions to give a type mismatch if they
  contain AM/PM in a
  foreign language.   Reason for this is because LotusScript core
  still expects
  English characters AM/PM.  This can be reproduced in any version
  of
  Notes/Domino.
  
  
  Reproducible steps:
  
  Setting Windows Regional settings.  Below is for Windows 7, few
  differences for
  XP but generally the same.
  
  Under Control Panel, click 'clock, language, and region', then
  click 'region
  and language'.  Change Format to Chinese
  (Traditional,
  Taiwan), press Apply button, and then Ok.
  
  
  
  On Client, open User Preferences.  Under International/General.
   Change
  Regional profile to Chinese(Traditional)
  
  
  Restart the client.
  
  Now Create a simple LotusScript agent with this Script.
  
  %INCLUDE "e:\pack\v8.02\bin\w32\bin\lsprcval.lss"
  
  Sub Initialize
  
   Dim RightNow As New NotesDateTime()
   Dim Lang As String
  
   Lang = Getthreadinfo (LSI_THREAD_LANGUAGE)
  
   Msgbox Lang
  
   Call RightNow.SetNow
  
   Msgbox RightNow.TimeOnly
  
   Msgbox Second(RightNow.TimeOnly)
  
  End Sub
  
  
  Below is output from 3 Msgbox in the agent.
  1)en;
  2)?? 04:01:39
  3)Type mismatch in method DateConvert: STRING found, DATE
  expected.
