    Problem Text
    This was reported to vsx_support during the beta testing of VSX 4.3.3 and
    accepted as a test suite deficiency. The fix was not expected to make
    VSX 4.3.4. Below is the supportive information included with the
    original error report.

    TSD4.078 describes a problem with some strptime() testcases because they
    used the wrong space character. The testcases below have the same problem.
    replacing the "C" locale space character with VSX4L1/VSX4L2 locale space
    character, \\100, our implementation passes all these tests.


    vsx_support response:

    The fix for TSD4.078 was to change the spaces in the input strings to \\100
    characters. It appears that the spaces in the format strings should also
    be changed to '\\100' characters, although it is interesting that this
    problem was not detected by the submitter of TSD4.078.

    We will make the relevant changes after the next release (which is
    imminent).

    /tset/XPG4.os/time/strptime/T.strptime 3 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strptime() is supported:
    When format is a string made up of a series of the following field
    descriptors :
    a. d day of month - 01 to 31 (with or without leading zeros)
    b. D date in %m/%d/%y format
    c. H hour - 00 to 23 (with or without leading zeros)
    d. I hour - 00 to 12 (with or without leading zeros)
    e. j day of year - 001 to 366
    f. M minute - 00 to 59 (with or without leading zeros)
    g. m month of year - 01 to 12 (with or without leading zeros)
    h. n any whitespace character sequence
    i. r time in %I:%M:%S %p format
    j. S second - 00 to 61 (with or without leading zeros)
    k. t any whitespace character sequence
    l. T time in %H:%M:%S notation
    m. U week number of year - 00 to 53 (Sunday as first day of week)
    (with or without leading zeros)
    n. w day of week - 0 to 6 (Sunday = 0) (with or without leading
    zeros)
    o. W week number of year - 00 to 53 (Monday as first day of week)
    (with or without leading zeros)
    p. y last two digits of year - 00 to 99 (with or without leading
    zeros)
    q. Y four digit year including century
    then a call to strptime() reads characters from string and, in the
    case that these characters match the format of the directive,
    translates these characters into the appropriate member of the tm
    structure. Occurrences of "%%" in the format string are matched
    against a single "%" and do not affect the tm structure.
    Otherwise:
    A call to strptime() returns NULL and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    PARENT process will
    CREATE child process using cppair()
    CHILD process will
    FOR each item in the assertion, and for fields with and without
    leading zeroes where allowed, and for locales VSX4L1 and VSX4L2
    where indicated:
    INITIALISE the tm structure to be set by strptime()
    INITIALISE the tm structure that strptime() will be checked
    against.
    IF testing the %p format:
    SET the locale for LC_TIME to VSX4L1 or VSX4L2
    OBTAIN the relevant pseudo-language data using pslanginfo()
    CONVERT the date and time string to a tm structure using
    strptime()
    VERIFY strptime() returns the expected tm structure.

    Test Information:
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, with leading
    zeroes
    strptime("0091@00@01", "%y %w %U", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, without leading
    zeroes
    strptime("92@4@52", "%y %w %U", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, with leading
    zeroes
    strptime("0091@00@01", "%y %w %W", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL
    weekday , two digit year, and week number of the year, without leading
    zeroes
    strptime("92@4@52", "%y %w %W", &testbuf) failed.
    return value was NULL

    /tset/XPG4.os/time/strptime/T.strptime 5 Failed

    Test Description:
    If strptime() is supported:
    When format is a string containing the following field descriptors:
    a. a or A abbreviated or full weekday name - eg. Sun to Sat or
    Sunday to Saturday
    b. b, B or h abbreviated or full month name - eg. Jan to Dec or
    January to December
    c. c appropriate date and time as specified in the D_T_FMT string
    d. p AM/PM string as specified in the AM_STR/PM_STR
    e. x appropriate date as specified in the D_FMT string
    f. X appropriate time as specified in the T_FMT string
    then a call to strptime() reads characters from string and, in the
    case that these characters match the format of the directive,
    translates these characters into the appropriate member of the tm
    structure.
    Otherwise:
    A call to strptime() returns NULL and sets errno to ENOSYS.

    Test Strategy:
    PARENT process will
    CREATE child process using cppair()
    CHILD process will
    SET the locale for LC_TIME to VSX4L1
    FOR each day format
    FOR each full weekday name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR each abbreviated weekday name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR each month format
    FOR each full month name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR each abbreviated month name
    GET the relevant string using pslanginfo()
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    FOR format strings D_T_FMT, AM_STR, D_FMT, and T_FMT:
    INITIALISE the tm structures
    VERIFY that strptime() performs as expected
    REPEAT everything contained above in this test for the locale
    VSX4L2

    Test Information:
    AM string as specified in AM_STR
    strptime("6 VM", "%I %p", &testbuf) failed.
    Current language is VSX4L1
    return value was NULL
    PM string as specified in PM_STR
    strptime("6 pm", "%I %p", &testbuf) failed.
    Current language is VSX4L2
    return value was NULL
