str = SolarEclipseTypeName(nEclipseType)

This macro function returns a text description of the solar eclipse of type nEclipseType.

This function is usually called after a call to the function SolarEclipseOnDate, as shown in the code example below.

nComboResult = SolarEclipseOnDate(n_TokenDate, 1)
if nComboResult >= 0
    nEclipseType = nComboResult div 1000000
    sEclipseTypeName = SolarEclipseTypeName(nEclipseType)
    nEclipseTime = nComboResult mod 1000000
    sEclipseTime = FormatTime('hh:nn', nEclipseTime, true)
    sResult = sEclipseTypeName + ' solar eclipse at ' + sEclipseTime
else
    sResult = 'No solar eclipse today'
endif
