ULSCountryLocale

Description

Returns the name of the system locale that corresponds to the specified locale number.

Arguments

ULSCountryLocale( number )

Parameters:

number

The requested numeric locale code (required). This is a one-to-three digit number which the Universal Language Support APIs use to uniquely identify each predefined country locale.

NOTE: This number is NOT the same as the country code, although there is some overlap. The actual usefulness of this function is unclear, since no other API appears to make use of these values.

A list of known numbers is included below, together with the OS/2 language ID that most closely corresponds. (Thanks to Peter Koller for compiling these.) Those marked with '*' arenot recognized by other OS/2 functions.
