Re: Setting date format symbols has no effect

[George R. <gr...@us...>]

The format symbols are locale independent, and you need to map the locale 
dependent symbols to the locale independent symbols yourself.  Each symbol 
has the same position in the string.  The localPatternChars should be used 
for the GUI and not for the API.

This behavior is just like Java.
