I'm just curious why STRING_FORMAT is possily  global.  If I understand this API correctly
an application could choose to get all data in T.61 format whether or not the connection is V2 or V3.

Is it global because an application will probably deal only with one character set, or because of of something
intrinsic to the connection itself.
