  In this paper, we take ODE reductions of the general nonlinear Schr\"odinger
equation (NLS) AKNS system, and reduce them to Painlev\'e type equations.
Specifically, the stationary solution is solved in terms of elliptic functions,
and the similarity solution is solved in terms of the Painlev\'e IV
transcendent. Since a number of newly proposed integrable 'nonlocal' NLS
variants (the PT-symmetric nonlocal NLS, the reverse time NLS, and the reverse
space-time NLS) are derivable as specific cases of this system, a consequence
is that the nonlocal Painlev\'e type ODEs obtained from these nonlocal variants
all reduce to previously known local equations.
