NLNUMSPEC
NLNUMSPEC
NM and CM callable.
Returns the information needed for formatting and converting numbers. It combines
several calls to NLINFO to simplify the use of native language formatting. By calling
NLNUMSPEC once, and passing the obtained information to NLFMTNUM and NLCONVNUM,
implicit calls to NLNUMSPEC from NLFMTNUM and NLCONVNUM are avoided and performance is
improved.
