GOAL:
Troubleshoot Issues where Euro Symbol (€) is not displayed with Char Application
FIX:
For problems displaying the EURO symbol in CHAR application:
- First check if both ASCII 128 and ASCII 0128 won't give you the
EURO symbol.
- Check if other applications like Edit do display the EURO symbol
correctly.
- Open a Command box and see if you can display the EURO symbol at the
DOS prompt
If all of the above fail your DOS code page probably does 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.
Though still unavailable at this time, Microsoft is thought to be developing an OEM compatible code page (ibm858) and that this code page will be freely downloadable.
