getDtFmt()

CATALOG

getDtFmt()

integer

Returns an integer representing the date format
that is currently set on the device.

Integer values:

1 = MM/DD/YY

2 = DD/MM/YY

3 = MM.DD.YY

4 = DD.MM.YY

5 = YY.MM.DD

6 = MM-DD-YY

7 = DD-MM-YY

8 = YY-MM-DD

getDtStr()

CATALOG

getDtStr([

integer

])

string

Returns a string of the current date in the current
date format. For example, a returned string of

28/09/02

represents the 28th day of September,

2002 (when the date format is set to

DD/MM/YY

).

If you enter the optional integer that corresponds
to a date format, the string returns the current
date in the specified format.

Optional integer values:

1 = MM/DD/YY

2 = DD/MM/YY

3 = MM.DD.YY

4 = DD.MM.YY

5 = YY.MM.DD

6 = MM-DD-YY

7 = DD-MM-YY

8 = YY-MM-DD

getKey()

getKey()

integer

Returns the key code of the key pressed. Returns
0 if no key is pressed.

The prefix keys (shift ¤,

second function 2,

option ¥, alpha j, and drag

‚) are not

recognized by themselves; however, they modify
the keycodes of the key that follows them. For
example: ¥ Ù

ƒ Ù ƒ 2 Ù.

For a listing of key codes, see Appendix B.

: If key = ord("a")
