Currency Symbol functionality disabled fix

Post Author: gary.t
CA Forum: General
Hi Support, Information to help others for future reference. Using Crystal Reports 9 on windows 2003 terminal services.The currency symbol functionality for a number field
wont show if the field is a formula source. Toggle the u201CUse Accounting Formatu201D checkbox to enable this. Bring up the Format Editor window for the
field > Number Tab > Customize button > Currency Symbol tab.Thanks Gary

Ah, right, fair enough. I see the same behaviour in XI (no Service Packs)
So, how do you want it output?
$ 1
$ 11
is easy enough to do with your suggested twofields method (the last digit of each number is aligned).
Or were you after something else?
Of course I could be missing something!

Display Currency Symbol disabled, but symbol prints if currency in a text formula. Why?

Our Crystal Report displays money fields (from our SQL database).
Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default when writing reports.
On one report we have a Sell_Amount currency field to display:
We have this Sell_Amount field directly on the report in one section.
We also have this Sell_Amount field in a formula for printing in a different section. This formula is defined as a text field as it will either display 'No Charge' or the Sell_Amount based on a condition, such as: If {NoCharge} Then 'No Charge' Else ToText(Sell_Amount)
When viewing this report on our development machine in Crystal Designer, the Currency Symbol does not show for either the Sell_Amount field that is directly on the report or for the Sell_Amount that is in the formula (I am guessing because we have the Display Currency Symbol disabled).
When viewing on a runtime machine (no Designer, just runtime components), the formula (if NoCharge = False) displays the Sell_Amount (in the formula) WITH the currency symbol, but the Sell_Amount that is directly on the report (not in the formula) does not display the currency symbol. Why?
This has been an issue ever since were were on Crystal 8 way back when. We have never found (nor asked) for a reason, but now we need to know the reason/rules, etc. for this. We are currently on Crystal 2008 SP6 (Designer) and deploying Crystal Reports Developer for Microsoft Visual Studio SP6 runtime components. As I said, this has been an issue for years, but we now need an explanation. I have not been able to locate one on the site anywhere. Can you please explain the rules of Currency Symbol in this scenario?
Thank you.

Hi NB,
I did say to use the Advanced editor but I did not say to use it for attaching the report...
So to be clear here is what I see in the report Designer ( I put the formula into text boxes also ):
For the NoDatabaseCurrency field you have to set the currency to Fixed, Floating will add a space:
Which is opposite of what you originally posted:
"...Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default..."
It's not disabled by default, please explain?
As for using the CCUR() function the help file does show the Currency symbol is on by default:
Examples
The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:
CCur (200.20)
In Crystal syntax this is equivalent to writing $200.20. In Basic syntax, CCur (200.20) is the way to directly create a Currency value of 200.20.
CCur ("$200.20")
Returns the Currency value CCur (200.20) given the String value "$200.20".
CCur ("two hundred dollars")
Causes an error to occur. The CCur function cannot convert the String "two hundred dollars" to a Currency value.
So if you mean you went into the Options menu and Fields, Currency and check off this option:
[Update] - After testing this a few times it does retain the Options, current, Display Currency Symbol, so creating a new report the option is unchecked.
You are correct, even though I checked it off when I create a new report the option is checked on and obviously it's still on for each field and object. This may be a bug, testing more and checking with a few more people and eventually R&D.
So please clarify the steps you are doing?
Make sure you are running CR Designer under local PC Admin rights, right click on the short cut and select run as Administrator or check this option on:
Thanks

How to fix wrong currency symbol and placement of it?

Hello
I'm setting up a re-install of Lion after the 10.7.5 update killed it, and Mountain Lion turned out to be a battery-killer.
I'm trying to setup the formatting of digits, time and currency in System Preferences, but I cannot see how I can fix the incorrect way it wants to display the Danish currency symbol.
In Denmark, our currency symbol is either "kr." (short for "kroner") or "DKK" and it's a suffix preceded by a space. Microsoft has always gotten this partly wrong, chosing the right symbol ("kr."), but prefixing it. It's always been easy to fix, though.
On my Mac, the system wants the symbol to be "Dkr" (which is definitely not correct in any way), it wants to prefix it, and it wants to glue it directly on to the amount, not even adding a space, i.e.
"Dkr1.000,00"
The correct notation is,
"1.000,00 kr."
I can't find any GUI way to fix it, but I know there are tons of settings hidden that you can set using a terminal. Just have no clue if this is one of those, and how to do it if so.
Is it, and how?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

About my issues with Mountain Lion, the only third-party apps I had installed were Chrome (first thing I do is get a proper browser so that I can finish setting up things), iTerm2 (need a proper terminal to fiddle with settings and do things on my server via ssh), and Spotify (to listen to stuff while settings up things).
Are Safari, Terminal, and iTunes somehow "improper"?
Actually, I was refering more to system modifications. My EtreCheck tool is designed to list those because people sometimes forget about software that only runs in the background.
Sure, there may be some workarounds to get things better with ML, but seriously, I'm not paid to be a beta-tester, and if at 10.8.2 it still can't perform properly, I'm not going to be the one working 24/7 to get my laptop regain the lost 50% battery life if I can just wipe the crap and revert to Lion.
I am a paid beta tester and developer, just not for Apple. I can assure you there are no significant issues with 10.8.2. There are some poorly-coded 3rd party software that doesn't work well on Mountain Lion. Sometimes developers take short cuts just to get something working and never fix it to work "properly" because, technically, it isn't broken - until the next operating system version comes out that is.
When Lion was released people were also falling over themselves to reinstall Snow Leopard for the same reasons. You can search for old posts from myself and others who said Lion was fine (as Mountain Lion is) and accurately predicted that people would, in due time, be falling over themselves to reinstall Lion.
This morning, after having reinstalled Lion, I fired up Chrome with my local radio station in Flash, playing news while I prepared coffe and cereal, keyboard backlight constantly on (as I hadn't yet set up anything (I always set a 5-second timeout)), the screen at 50%. Remaining battery life was 7h30m. Same setup with ML was pretty much exactly half that.
Chome, espeically with Flash, is known to have problems in Mountain Lion. I suggest using Safari and the ClickToFlash extension. That way, you get a very similar browser that will first try modern HTML5 methods for streaming that media and only fall back to Flash if necessary. Even without Chrome, Flash is a total CPU and battery hog.

Quicktime functions disabled because a compatibile version of QT could not be found...

Suddenly I am getting this error on start-up...Quicktime functions disabled because a compatibile version of QT could not be found...what give
? AECS3...I have Quicktime Pro 7.65, I works fine, quicktime works in Premiere and in the Bridge. AE can't even see .mov files....I searched the net, tried some suggestions (putting a .dll in a folder.) and just can't get it working again. Any help?

Are you on Windows?
I've seen one of the apple software updates corrupt my Quicktime install.
Uninstalling it, or iTunes, or both, then redownloading it from apple and re-installing fixed the problem. You can download Quicktime independently of iTunes, but you can't get iTunes without quicktime. Make sure both are gone from Add/Remove programs.
I would give that a shot.

Problem with Currency Symbol in IR export to CVS

I have a number of queries that have been successfully generating csv files for years and have been adapted to provide the basis for the same information to be available as an interactive report with the option to download as csv. The old scripts set the NLS settings at the outset. The Apex app sets the NLS environment in the vpd function. The apex report query is a "select * from some_view" style one that ultimately queries a remote view with several columns like this:
select TRIM (LEADING ' ' FROM TO_CHAR(ROUND(100,2),'L9999G999G990D00')) x from dual;
just as the were in the prior manual SQL.
The "new" apex export to csv files contain an extra character preceding the currency symbol that is upsetting Excel on import.
old-style hexdumps look like this:
2c 22 a3 31 30 30 2e 30 30 22 2c
,"£100.00",
new ones like this:
2c 22 c2 a3 31 30 30 2e 30 30 22 2c
,"Â£100.00",
Where on earth is Apex getting it into its head to add this (the on-screen report is fine!) and how can I stop it?
Thanks in anticipation.

Page 1 missing Currency Symbol

Hello Guys,
I have a financial report, and I need to show currency symbol once on every page (first line on every page).
I go to the Number tab on the field format, click Customize, then select the "Currency Symbol" tab and check 2 options - "Enable Currency Symbol" & "One Symbol per page". When I ran the report, the currency symbol appears on every page but NOT on the first page.
What can I do to fix this issue?
Thank you,
Tanya.

I need to add that the amounts are Summary fields in the Group section.
When I tried to use the same currency logic : "Enable Currency Symbol" & "One Symbol per page" on the Detail level - I got the first page with Currency and all other pages without currency symbol.

Removing Currency Symbol in PLD & Dot Matrix printer issue

Hi All
I need to know if its possible to remove the currency sysmbol on your print out. I'm printing on a pre-printed stationery and the currency symbol makes the lines to overlap.
Aonther question is , which font format can you select to for printing when you are using dot matrix printer (OKI Microline 3321 9 Pin Printer)
When its printing it's printing in bold and on the invoice after the second one , it looses the margin setting and prints on the wrong fields.
Thanks.

I tested the Amount function and it works perfectly for your need.
Add a formula field and in the Content Tab insert the Formula as
Amount(Field_198)
Here the Field_198 is shown as an example but you will enter the Field number of the amount field which currectly shows with the currency in your PLD.
For each such amount field you will need a Formula field to remove the currency symbol.

Currency symbol in email notification

I can display it for US, but while displaying it for Europe, i am having problem in diplaying the currency symbol. Please provide your inputs.

Hi,
unless you change it to HTML I don't think you can do this.
There is an SAP note about this "feature"
Maybe they fixed it now, I don't know, so just search OSS on how to solve your problem.
Usually I just use the currency key, USD, or EUR to display values
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

> Do u want to display the values in particular currencies?
Hi,
I want to have for each row the local currencies and specific rows corporate currency.
For example (1111 (this is the company code)) and 0010 (this is the corporate currency):
1111 1000,00USD
2222 2000,00JPY
3333 3000,00RMB
0010 1234,00Euro (1234,00 as example conversion in corporate currency)
So I have rows with local currency which are transfered all into the BW and displayed in the report.
And I need particular rows where the conversion should be displayed.
I know the transaction RSCUR but don´t know how to handle the different currency appearance in the report.

Remove currency symbol from currency cell format?

This might seem like an odd question but I only want my top row to have the currency symbol and the rest of the rows to simply have the number with no currency. I know I can switch the cell format to Numbers but then I lose the formatting of how negative numbers are displayed (quotation marks versus the negative symbol).
So, is there any way to simply remove the currency symbol from the currency cell format?

Hello
As the special format for negatives is only meaningful for currencies you can't get if if you disable the currency format.
There is an alternate way to highlight negatives but I don't know if you would be satisfied with it.
Select the cells whose format must be number, not currency.
Open the Inspector of Cells
Check "Conditional Format"
Click "Show Rules"
Of course, you may select an other color.

Currency Symbols Issue

Hi All,
We have an invoice report, and we are getting currency symbols from the fnd_currencies table. For GBP we are getting 'Â£' symbols and we are using srw.user_exit('FND FORMAT_CURRENCY CODE=':CP_CURRENCY_CODE....) function to get the formatted amount in the report. But when we change the output format to XML, srw.user_exit..is throwing exception for all the currencies except USD. When the format is text it is not throwing exception. please suggest what to do.

You can put the short code like this in GBP, JPY, EUR
xml, and declare the currency formatting in Templates based on the locale , you are running or by just hard-coding.
<?format-currency:Numbervalue;currencycode;'true|false'?>
if the thrid parameter is true, it display the currency and Number value , else no currency , just simply numbervalue.
second param is, currencycode , can be from xml like GBP, JPY, EUR , or just hard code , if it is single currency template.
or to make it generalized, you can put these settings in config, file for the muberFormatMask to be used.
