userFormatPicAndLcid

userFormatPicAndLcid(pic:  String;
                     lcid: Integer): String;

The userFormatPicAndLcid method of the Time primitive type returns a string containing the receiver in the time format picture specified in the pic parameter of the locale specified in the lcid parameter.

If the value of the pic parameter is null, the time format picture of the locale specified in the lcid parameter is returned. If the value of the lcid parameter is zero (0), the time format picture of the current locale is returned.

The picture string can include ".fff" following "s", to output the millisecond part of the time; for example, "H:mm:ss.fff" can generate the strings "13:07:23.543" and "9:53:11.000".

If you do not define the EnhancedLocaleSupport parameter in the [JadeEnvironment] section of the JADE initialization file on the database node or you set it to false, inconsistent results could be returned to the application server when running in JADE thin client mode and there are locale overrides, as all overrides on the application server are suppressed if enhanced locale support is not enabled.

The following example of the userFormatPicAndLcid method outputs 15:07:23.123.

vars
    t : Time;
    s : String;
begin
    t.setTime(15,7,23,123);
    s := t.userFormatPicAndLcid(″HH:mm:ss.fff″, 0);
    write s;
end;
