CEELCNV—Query locale numeric conventions

z/OS Language Environment Programming Reference
SA38-0683-00

CEELCNV, which calls the C function localeconv(), queries the numeric formatting information from the current locale and sets the components of a structure with values pertaining to the LC_NUMERIC and LC_MONETARY categories. It sets the components of an object of the type NM_STRUCT with the values appropriate for the formatting of the numeric quantities (monetary and otherwise) according to the rules of the current locale.

CEELCNV is sensitive to the locales set by setlocale() or CEESETL, not to the Language Environment settings from COUNTRY or CEE3CTY.

Syntax

>>-CEELCNV--(--version--,--num_and_mon--,--fc--)---------------><

version
This parameter points to a user supplied VERSION_INFO structure, in which the first four bytes contain the callable service version number.

Requirement: If the parameter does not point to a user supplied VERSION_INFO structure, it must be omitted.

If the parameter points to a VERSION_INFO containing version number 2, CEELCNV returns a num_and_mon structure with the international monetary string formatting elements added for ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99). This corresponds to the current C language lconv structure. If the parameter is omitted, CEELCNV returns the structure format used before C99. For information about how to code this parameter, see Invoking callable services.
num_and_mon (output)
Points to the numeric and monetary structure that is filled in by this service. If the service fails, the contents of the structure are undefined. num_and_mon has the following structure:
NM_STRUCT
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING). A pointer to the filled-in structure NM_STRUCT is returned. The structure pointed to by the return value should not be modified by the program but can be overridden by subsequent calls to CEELCNV. In addition, calls to CEESETL with the LC_ALL, LC_MONETARY or LC_NUMERIC categories can cause subsequent calls to CEELCNV to return different values based on the selection of the locale.
The members of the structure with the type VSTRING are strings, any of which (except decimal_point) can point to an empty string, to indicate that the value is not available in the current locale or is of zero length. The members with type VINT are non-negative numbers, any of which can be CHAR_MAX to indicate that the value is not available in the current locale. The members include the following:
VSTRING decimal_point
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the decimal-point character used to format non-monetary quantities.
VSTRING thousands_sep
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the character used to separate groups of digits to the left of the decimal point in formatted non-monetary quantities.
VSTRING grouping
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes whose elements indicate the size of each group of digits in formatted non-monetary quantities.
VSTRING int_curr_symbol
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the international currency symbol applicable to the current locale, left justified within a four-character space-padded field.
VSTRING currency_symbol
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the local currency symbol applicable to the current locale.
VSTRING mon_decimal_point
A halfword length-prefixed character string(VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the decimal point character used to format monetary quantities.
VSTRING mon_thousands_sep
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the separator for groups of digits to the left of the decimal point in formatted monetary quantities.
VSTRING mon_grouping
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes whose elements indicate the size of each group of digits in formatted monetary quantities.
VSTRING positive_sign
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that indicates a non-negative-formatted monetary quantity.
VSTRING negative_sign
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes used to indicate a negative-formatted monetary quantity.
VINT int_frac_digits
A 1-byte integer that is the number of fractional digits (those to the right of the decimal point) to be displayed in an internationally-formatted monetary quantity.
VINT frac_digits
A 1-byte integer that is the number of fractional digits (those to the right of the decimal point) to be displayed in a formatted monetary quantity.
VINT p_cs_precedes
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol precedes the value for a non-negative-formatted monetary quantity. It is set to 0 if it follows.
VINT p_sep_by_space
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol is separated by a space from the value for a non-negative-formatted monetary quantity. It is set to 0 if it is not separated.
VINT n_cs_precedes
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol precedes the value for a negative-formatted monetary quantity. It is set to 0 if it follows.
VINT n_sep_by_space
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol is separated by a space from the value for a negative-formatted monetary quantity. It is set to 0 is it is not separated.
VINT p_sign_posn
A 1-byte integer that is set to a value indicating the positioning of the positive_sign for non-negative-formatted monetary quantity.
VINT n_sign_posn
A 1-byte integer that is set to a value indicating the position of the negative_sign for negative-formatted monetary quantity.
VSTRING left_parenthesis
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the used to denote a negative monetary quantity.
VSTRING right_parenthesis
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the used to denote a negative monetary quantity.
VSTRING debit_sign
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the debit sign character in monetary formats.
VSTRING credit_sign
A halfword length-prefixed character string (VSTRING) of 22 bytes that is the credit sign character in monetary formats.
VINT int_p_cs_precedes
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol precedes the value for a non-negative-formatted international monetary quantity. It is set to 0 if it follows.
VINT int_p_sep_by_space
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol is separated by a space from the value for a non-negative-formatted international monetary quantity. It is set to 0 if it is not separated.
VINT int_n_cs_precedes
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol precedes the value for a negative-formatted international monetary quantity. It is set to 0 if it follows.
VINT int_n_sep_by_space
A 1-byte integer that is set to 1 if the currency_symbol is separated by a space from the value for a negative-formatted international monetary quantity. It is set to 0 is it is not separated.
VINT int_p_sign_posn
A 1-byte integer that is set to a value indicating the positioning of the positive_sign for non-negative-formatted international monetary quantity.
VINT n_sign_posn
A 1-byte integer that is set to a value indicating the position of the negative_sign for negative-formatted international monetary quantity.
fc (output/optional)
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.
CEE3T1 3 4001 General Failure: Service could not be completed.
CEE3VN 3 4087 Input Error: The version_info control block contains a version number that is not valid.

Usage notes

  • PL/I MTF consideration—CEELCNV is not supported in PL/I MTF applications.
  • This callable service uses the C/C++ runtime library. The C/C++ library must be installed and accessible even when this service is called from a non-C program.
  • CEELCNV does not return all numeric conventions.
  • CHAR_MAX determines when no further grouping is to be performed. The elements of grouping and mon_grouping are interpreted according to the following CHAR_MAX settings:
    • 0 specifies that the previous element is to be repeatedly used for the remainder of the digits. Indicates that no further grouping is to be performed.
    • Any other value represents the number of digits comprising the current group. The next element is examined to determine the size of the next group of digits to the left of the current group.
  • The value of p_sign_posn and n_sign_posn is interpreted according to the following:
    0
    Parentheses surround the quantity and currency_symbol.
    1
    The sign string precedes the quantity and currency_symbol.
    2
    The sign string follows the quantity and currency_symbol.
    3
    The sign string immediately precedes the currency_symbol.
    4
    The sign string immediately follows the currency_symbol.
