getfdate - get format for DATE values
#include
char *getfdate()
Getfdate returns a pointer to a string containing the format for
DATE values. This format string is used by atodate(C-3)
and
datetoa(C-3). In addition, several
of the C/Base programs use
this string for formatting DATE values.
The DATE format string is retrieved from the country format
structure (see fcountry(C-3)).
fcountry(C-3), atodate(C-3),
datetoa(C-3)
C/Base Reference Manual Chapter 13, "Formatting Data Values"
The value returned points to static data shared among all of the
get format routines and is overwritten with each call.
DATE value formats consist of only one specifier.
