Hi,
For my C programs, I use Date2Amiga with dat_Format FORMAT_DOS to display dates.

In french and german, there are extra blank characters at the end of date.
In the following picture, you can notice that

for french date, there are 2 extra blank characters before the last "XXX"
for german date, there are 1 extra blank character before the last "XXX"

for UK, italian, greek, spanish and swedisch, it looks goog.

executable to test (by changing your prefs/locale) and source code availables

is it just on my system (with french or german locales) or is it the same for you ?
Thank you

Guillaume

Another french user has confirmed me the problem with my sample.

If you will write text of BZ (name of bz, body, all necessary info), i will add it.

Thank you Kas1e.
Isn't my post description and C sample with screenshot enough ?

Edit : If not, could you send me a bug report sample ?

@kas1e

Elwood or I will take care of investigating this further and reporting to the right component. I have very little time (to no time at all) myself until this week-end so if Elwood didn't reported it at that time I'll do it on Saturday.

@abalaban
Aha ok

@zzd10h
Let's wait one more week, if Abalaban and Elwood will have no time, i will help

Checked, confirmed and bug report filled, #8366

Thank you,
when using others formats for dat_Format, it's OK in french, no extra character at the end of string.

FORMAT_INT OK
FORMAT_USA OK
FORMAT_CDN OK
FORMAT_DEF OK
FORMAT_ISO OK

With Locale.library 53.6, newly available,
my problem of date format is solved.

Thank you !
