GOAL:
How to Troubleshoot, Euro Symbol (·) not being displayed.
FIX:
For problems displaying the EURO symbol in GUI applications:
1) Determine if ASCII 128 or ASCII 0128 displays the EURO symbol.
2) Do other non-Progress applications like Word or WordPad display the EURO symbol correctly?
3) Can cut & paste be used to display the EURO symbol?
4) Validate that you are using a EURO-enabled font. Only Times New Roman, Arial and Courier New officially support the EURO symbol.
5) Confirm that you are running the latest patch version of Windows.
6) Verify that your version of Windows has the Euro Product Update Patch (available from www.microsoft.com).
For problems displaying the EURO symbol in CHAR application:
1) Determine if ASCII 128 or ASCII 0128 displays the EURO symbol.
2) Do other non-Progress applications like Edit display the EURO symbol correctly?
3) Open a command window and see if you can display the EURO symbol at the
DOS prompt
If all of the above fail, your DOS code page may not support the EURO symbol.
Many OEM code pages (like ibm850 and ibm437) do not display the EURO symbol correctly. You can still store the CHR(128) value in your database. Seen from a GUI client it will display the EURO symbol, but on Char clients it will not.
