With this information you can handle the formatted time string as a list of fields that you can split and alter at will.

Parameters
fieldsPointer to the fields object.
fieldCountThe number of fields.
styleSpecify the long format or the short format.
Returns
A status code.
Return values
B_OKEverything went fine.
