SetFormatCC Routine

 Action
 Sets the country code for the  Format X $ functions.

 Syntax
  SetFormatCC ( countrycode%)


 Remarks
 The argument  countrycode% is the international telephone dialing prefix for
 the country chosen as the target audience when using the  Format X $
 functions.

 The only reason to use  SetFormatCC is to change what the  Format X $
 functions expect as thousands-separator and decimal-point formatting
 characters.

 The default setting for the country code is the United States (1). If you
 set the country code to France (33), the following statement would display
 the number 1,000 (U.S.) as 1.000,00.

 PRINT FormatD$ (1000, "#.##0,00")
 The format you use with the  Format X $ functions must be compatible with
 the current country code in order for formatted numbers to display properly.

 If you set the country code to one of the following countries, the  Format X
 $ functions expect alternative formatting characters. Austria, Belgium,
 Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden,
 or Switzerland. Canada uses one country code for French Canada (2) and
 another for the remainder of Canada (1).

 To use  SetFormatCC in the QBX environment, use the DTFMTER.QLB Quick
 library. To use  SetFormatCC outside of the QBX environment, link your
 program with the appropriate DTFMT xx.LIB file. Depending on the compiler
 options you chose when you installed BASIC, one or more of the following
 files will be available.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Filename         Compiler options
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 DTFMTER.LIB      80x87 or emulator math; DOS or OS-2 real mode
 DTFMTAR.LIB      Alternate math; DOS or OS-2 real mode
 DTFMTEP.LIB      80x87 or emulator math; OS-2 protected mode
 DTFMTAP.LIB      Alternate math; OS-2 protected mode




 The FORMAT.BI header file contains the necessary function declarations for
 using the formatting functions. For more information on using libraries, see
 Chapter 18, "Using LINK and LIB" and Chapter 19, "Creating and Using Quick
 Libraries" in the  Programmer's Guide.
