National Language Support for date and time services

The NATLANG and COUNTRY runtime options provide national language support for date and time services. The names of the months and days of the week are based on the national language specified in the NATLANG option. Some date and time services also allow the specification of a blank or null picture string, a practice that directs Language Environment to use a date and time format based upon the current value specified in the COUNTRY option. You can locate the default date and time format for any supported country by using the CEEFMDA, CEEFMDT, or CEEFMTM callable services.
