| Description |
The TimePMString variable value is used in the DateTimeToString procedure, and the StrToTime function. It qualifies the afternoon hour value when the ampm formatting string is used. The formatting determines the position.
The default value is 'PM' as set by the locale settings.
|
|
| Notes |
The default TimePMString value is taken from the LOCALE_S2359 locale setting.
