| 1720.1 | Julian Calendar Assumed... | XDELTA::HOFFMAN | Steve, OpenVMS Engineering | Mon Apr 28 1997 11:21 | 12 |
OpenVMS does not support non-Julian calendars -- the Hebrew, Mayan,
Chinese, etc., calendars are not supported.
Support of different base dates could require assuming 17-Nov-1858 is
actually some other base date and setting the current time to a current
value appropriate for the "delta" from year-zero of the desired calendar
system, but the formatting of the information would still follow
Julian norms.
Language-specific Julian-based date text is supported, as are the
various UTC formats.
