When you use the %@xxx in the format string, the xxx represents a code that identifies one of our supported language locales.
Until a locale format code is encountered in the format string, the default locale (typically USD which is US English) is in effect. Once a locale format code is found, the locale specified remains in effect until another locale indicator is encountered.
For example: suppose the input date is 03-01-2009 (USD). This table shows the output from various formats:
Enter |
To output |
“Monday, March 01”. |

“lundi, mars 01” |

“%A, %@CAD%B %d” |
“Monday, mars 01” |
“%@CAD%A, %@USD%B %d” |
“lundi, March 01” |
