Hey, yeah, I've been meaning to ask the same thing. We use
DateToDOWDMFormat, and on the Japanese ROM it sometimes produces a
string with illegal character(s), which looks bad on screen.
Example:
- 4/27/99 comes out "(day kanji) 1999 Apr 27", which is correct.
- but 4/28/99 is "(day) [#]999 Apr 28", where "[#]" means the gray box
indicating an unprintable character in the current font. This symptom
occurs for many dates.
- and 4/30/99 comes out an empty string, probably with spaces and a '\0'
character at the beginning of the string.
(I haven't looked at the actual string bytes, but just reporting what
appears when drawn on screen in the standard font.)
Not good! Is this a known problem in the Japanese Palm OS, and if so,
is there an OS upgrade available to fix it?
