Example

Executing the example assumes that the repository contains a calendar dictionary with the CALENDAR_DIM identifier.

Sub Main;

Var

MB: IMetabase;

MObj: IMetabaseObject;

CalDim: ICalendarDimension;

i, j: Integer;

Begin

MB := MetabaseClass.Active;

MObj := MB.ItemById("CALENDAR_DIM").Edit;

CalDim := MObj As ICalendarDimension;

For i := 0 To CalDim.AttributeCount - 1 Do

If CalDim.AttributeIndex(i) = 0 Then

j := i;

End If;

End For;

CalDim.AttributeNameFormat(j, 5) := 7;

MObj.Save;

End Sub Main;

After executing the example position of the Calendar Element Name attribute is defined to change format of displaying. Brief date format is set for the Days block.
