The CAL_IYEAROFFSETRANGE and CAL_SERASTRING values vary in format depending on the type of optional calendar. The following example shows the values for these types (for each supported alternate calendar type) along with the formula for how to use the CAL_IYEAROFFSETRANGE value to compute the correct year given the Gregorian current year value Y:

CAL_ICALINTVALUE = "1"
CAL_IYEAROFFSETRANGE = ""
CAL_SERASTRING = ""

CAL_ICALINTVALUE = "2"
CAL_IYEAROFFSETRANGE = ""
CAL_SERASTRING = ""

CAL_ICALINTVALUE = "3"
CAL_IYEAROFFSETRANGE = "1989\01926\01912\01868\0"
CAL_SERASTRING = "Ux337B\0Ux337C\0Ux337D\0Ux337E\0"
if (Y>=1989) { Y = (Y-1989)+1; }
if (Y>=1926 && Y<1989) { Y = (Y-1926)+1; }
if (Y>=1912 && Y<1926) { Y = (Y-1912)+1; }
if (Y>=1868 && Y<1912) { Y = (Y-1868)+1; }
if (Y<1868) { Y = Y; }

CAL_ICALINTVALUE = "4"
CAL_IYEAROFFSETRANGE = "1912\0"
CAL_SERASTRING = "Ux4E2D\0Ux83EF\0Ux6C11\0Ux570B\0"
if (Y>=1912) { Y = (Y-1912)+1; }
if (Y<1912) { Y = Y; }

CAL_ICALINTVALUE = "5"
CAL_IYEAROFFSETRANGE = "2333\0"
CAL_SERASTRING = ""
Y = Y+2333;
