The Date Cache Record
The StringToDate and StringToTime functions use the date cache, defined by the DateCacheRecord data type, as an area to store date conversion data that is used by the date conversion routines. This record must be initialized by a call to the InitDateCache function, which is described in the section "InitDateCache" beginning on page 5-83. The data in this record is private--you should not attempt to access it.
DateCachePtr = ^DateCacheRecord;

DateCacheRecord =
PACKED RECORD
      hidden: ARRAY [0..255] OF INTEGER;{only for temporary use}
END;
