No the gg & y are from the string which indicate the format from nlsweb. They get replaced with whatever they mean. The original string was for example
gg y'年'M'月'd'日' dddd
the dddd, d, M got replaced, but these are left because I don't know whatever they mean. "y" must be a part of year, no idea on "gg" thou. Can it be other non-usual date coding for quarter, etc?
Have a look at the following and tell me what it is please (got this from global.exe, double quotes are put by me to show where it starts/ends):
For format: "gg y'年'M'月'd'日'"
It outputs: " 2年5月21日"
For format: "gg y'年'M'月'd'日' dddd"
It outputs: " 2年5月21日 火曜日"
For "y" it puts "2", either last or first number of year 2002 (bad year for tests  )
For "gg" it seems to put nothing, and the space between gg and y is kept.
Strange.

This is not handling any of these Japanese ERA notation, right? like 平成 which happens to be a current era....平成７年５月２０日 for proper Japanese expression (7 is arbitrary, since I don't remember which # is this year...most likely somewhere between 6~8....)
Not sure at all.... There are two calander expressions in NLS....locale and western...will this something to do with this?

OK, I think I localized the problem... I used W2K control panel Regional Options to set Japan as the locale, "gg" type options come only when I choose "Japanese Emperor Era, 和暦" as the calendar type.
Must be a special code for this calendar. It does not render the example box in this case thou.

Hmmm. There are three calendar options:
Japanese Emperor Era, 和暦
Gregorian (English strings always), 西暦 (英語)
Gregorian (localized), 西暦 (日本語)
I think, without full calendar support I must leave non-western ones  . I have to study more on calendars (there are more than you think). But I think it is for v4.1...

Suggestion: Opting for not using Japanese Emperor Era date format.... use perhaps Gregorian either English or Japanese... much simpler and consistent.... Similar issues with Chinese, I suspect (not Emperor Era, that's gone!).
