Sorry for the non-PFC question, but I think I saw some discussion related to
this a while back...

I need a way to reliably get the short date setting (the Regional Settings
control panel option for short date format) for a user's PC. I had been
getting it from the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control
Panel/International/sShortDate, but it turns out that this value doesn't
always exist on non-US editions of Windows 98 (and maybe 95). The problem
occurred with a Canadian version of Windows 98.

I found an API call for GetLocaleInfo, but haven't been able to make it work
in PowerBuilder. The API call is: 
GetLocaleInfo(LCID Locale, LCTYPE LCType, LPTSTR lpLCDataBuffer, int
nBufferSize)

I need to know the date format so I can assemble a month/day/year string in
the correct order (because if the month is in the wrong place, for example,
the Date() function will mess up the date because it expects the month value
to be in the position specified in the Regional Settings).

Seems like this should be easy info to get, but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for any help!
