I had the same problem with IUDateString.  DateForm is an implicit byte.
Basicly, in assembly you want to do some thing like:

TimeStr		move.l	Time,(SP)		; push the time global
		move.b	abbrevDate,-(SP)	; or longDate,shortDate
		pea	StringStorage		; where to put the result..
		_IUDateString
		lea	StringStorage,A2	; get pointer to result


The move.b will put the [0|1|2] in the proper position and pad things to keep
the stack aligned.

			Hope this helps...
