Euro functionality

The Euro currency (symbol) is supported in model documents.

Besides the earlier introduced euro function and the ITPEURO setting the following functionality has been added:

• Translation of single byte Euro characters to Unicode Euro characters.
  This functionality can be used to avoid problems when printing euro characters. Refer to the format function for more information.
• Translation of the International Currency Symbol to Unicode Euro characters.
  Some 5250 emulators - like Client Access - display the Euro symbol although the AS/400 applications actually use the International Currency Symbol (ICS). In order to display the Euro symbol in result documents based on AS/400 data containing the ICS, a translation has to be performed. This functionality enables you to turn this translation on and off.

Euro functionality settings

The functionality can be activated on different levels:

• On a global level, for all model documents that use a certain configuration file.
  Add the setting
  ITPUNICODEEURO=Y
  to the configuration file to activate the translation of single byte Euro characters to Unicode Euro characters.
  Add the setting
  ITPCURRENCYEURO=Y
  to the configuration file to activate the translation of the International Currency Symbol to Unicode Euro characters.
• On the level of a model document the functionality can be activated and de-activated with the pragma function.
