This would also need to be noted in the APPLICATION USAGE of related utilities/functions.</blockquote> This is an instruction to the working group to consider making a change, not an instruction to the editor to make a change. I am submitting this bug so that we can duly consider precisely what, if any, changes to make. Desired Action: Change:<blockquote>The operand shall consist of two strings, separated by a <semicolon>, each surrounded by double-quotes. The first string shall represent the <i>ante-meridiem</i> designation, the last string the <i>post-meridiem</i> designation.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>If the <b>t_fmt_ampm</b> string is not empty, the <b>am_pm</b> operand shall consist of two strings, separated by a <semicolon>, each surrounded by double-quotes; the first string shall represent the <i>ante-meridiem</i> designation, the last string the <i>post-meridiem</i> designation. If the <b>t_fmt_ampm</b> string is empty, the <b>am_pm</b> operand shall be an empty string.</blockquote> If this change is agreed, then work out what other changes are needed. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2019-12-18 15:35 geoffclare New Issue 2019-12-18 15:35 geoffclare Name => Geoff Clare 2019-12-18 15:35 geoffclare Organization => The Open Group 2019-12-18 15:35 geoffclare Section => 7.3.5.1 LC_TIME Locale Definition 2019-12-18 15:35 geoffclare Page Number => 160 2019-12-18 15:35 geoffclare Line Number => 5085 2019-12-18 15:35 geoffclare Interp Status => --- ======================================================================
