Getting the month from a date and convert it to my own language

[Jos_van_Bragt]

Hi,

I am finding a way to convert the clarion month from english to dutch. The day of the weeks I did by the choose function, in what manner can I do this with month names like october to oktober (dutch)

Thanks!

Create a procedure that returns what you need, something like this:

MonthName  PROCEDURE(BYTE pMonth)  !- returns STRING
  CODE
  EXECUTE pMonth
    RETURN '!st month in Dutch'
    RETURN '2nd month in Dutch'
    RETURN '3rd month in Dutch'
and so on 12 times
  END

  RETURN 'Invalid month number'

Hi,

I mean with the use of a real month in a date field. I want to return the full dutch date so ‘monday 12 may 2019’ must become ‘maandag 12 mei 2019’

Thanks

EasyDotNet has this feature (convert datetime to any culture), for example I choosed “nl” culture in the demo app and see date in Dutch):

Here is the date time 12.05.2019 20:29:20 (by the way 12.05.2019 is not a Monday)

What is returned when you use @d17 or @d18 formatting on a date field?

Hi I am getting now the english month names. I figured out how to get the week days in Dutch with Weekdag=CHOOSE(Pri:Datum_eerste_les % 7 + 1,‘zondag’,‘maandag’,‘dinsdag’,‘woensdag’,‘donderdag’,‘vrijdag’,‘zaterdag’)

Maand = CHOOSE(MONTH(Pri:Datum_eerste_les),‘januari’,‘februari’,‘maart’,‘april’,‘mei’,‘juni’,‘juli’,‘augustus’,‘september’,‘oktober’,‘november’,‘december’)

Thanks! That did the trick… how simple

I know I’m late, but you have the CLAMON and CLAMONTH…
Look for them on the help and also for LOCALE…
