var TimeAMString : string
Description
The TimeAMString variable value is used in the DateTimeToString procedure, and StrToTime function. It qualifies the hour value when the ampm formatting string is used. The position is determined by the formatting string (see the example).
The default value is 'AM' as set by the locale settings.
Notes
The default TimeAMString value is taken from the LOCALE_S1159 locale setting.
