today() returns problem
hi all
normally today() will return today's date in gregorian calander( eg : 09/03/2003 ).
in my application, which is an arabic application, i need the date in Hijri calander(arabic calander).
In my arabic enabled windows i can change the system calander as hijri from regional settings. but the today() function still returns the gregorian data. i need to get the date in hijri (eg: like today's hijri date 06/01/1424 ).
in Microsoft VB 6.0 the this can achieve easily by the script
VBA.Calendar = vbCalHijri // changing to hijri calander
msgbox now
the messagebox will show tha date 06/01/1424. and all the remaining date calculations r based on hijri calander.
is there any method to achieve this in PowerBuilder..??
if u don't know inform me, where will i go in the net to get Sybase's Help regarding this matter
i am using pb 6/7. if u have any idea regarding this pls inform me.
thanx in advance

If you can do it by VBscript, then why you can call Vbscript to do it and return the result to powerbuilder.
I don't know how to do that, but it's just an idea.
