    Problem Text
    XPG4.os/time/strptime/T.strptime 3 Failed

    According to the corrigenda

    " On the strptime() manual page (Page 889, Volume 2), change:
    %r is the time as %I:%M:%S %p.

    to:

    %r 12-hour clock time using the AM/PM notation if t_fmt_ampm is
    not an empty string in the LC_TIME portion of the current locale;
    in the POSIX locale, this will be equivalent to ``%I:%M:%S %p''."

    In our locale in the LC_TIME portion, t_fmt_ampm is defined as

    t_fmt_ampm "%I:%M:%S %p"

    But in this test case the parameter passed to strptime is
    "11.49.45 VM", which is not in the the "%I:%M:%S %p" format.
    The strptime function returns correct values if we pass
    time in "%I:%M:%S %p" format and the test passes.

    Test Output
    /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:
    appropriate time as specified in T_FMT_AMPM string
    strptime("11.49.45 VM", "%r", &testbuf) failed.
    Current language is VSX4L1
    return value was NULL

    Review Response
    It appears that the VSX4L1 locale has not been correctly installed
    before executing this test. The AM/PM format for VSX4L1 should be
    defined as:

    t_fmt_ampm "%I.%M.%S %p"

    as it is in the example localedef source supplied with VSXgen.
