GBP currency symbol showing an extra character.

Hi
We're using Oracle Apps 11.5.10 running under Linux with XML Publisher 5.6.
We are developing an invoice template (RTF) that is muti currency. Our instance is defaulted to NLS_TERRITORY=AMERICA but when we are running a concurrent program to generate the XML file and base on the billing currency, we set the session to its corresponding language (ex: NLS_TERRITORY=UNITED KINGDOM'). In the case of GBP, the XML file does show the "£" in the invoice amount field. But when you look at the PDF file that it generates, the invoice amount has an extra character before the sterling pound symbol:
Â£1,000.00
I tried the <?format-currency:INVOICE_AMOUNT;'GBP'?> but to no avail.
Any help would greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please check the thread Re: Â£ is being reported in Oracle reports instead of £
Cheers!

Changing Currency Symbol from the Menu bar to other than €

I use the Costa Rican colon symbol ¢ (in front of number) as a routine value, as well as the U.S. dollar symbol and it seems cumbersome to select the "Inspector" to make these alternate currency symbols (or any alternate to € symbol). Speaking of the Costa Rican colon, it is represented incorrectly anyway and I don't know how to change the symbol.
Also, in the pop-up menu of the "Inspector -- currency" all currency symbols show as € and only when a cell is clicked after selecting a currency symbol, does it appear in the cell (not correct, but at least something other than €.
This is my first hour of "playing with" Numbers. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

There are many variations to the symbols used for currency worldwide, please, if yours is wrong let Apple know. The feedback option is under Numbers on the menu bar. This is a user to user forum provided by Apple, not run by them.
My symbol on the menu bar is $, which is correct and rather common worldwide, maybe a generic currency symbol is used for smaller areas of the world. I know I have the Australian flag rather than a New Zealand one on my menu bar for the international settings. We are obviously too small to have our own
You can show all currency options in the inspector by changing the Numbers preferences. A quick way of selecting the correct currency in the inspector is to open the list and type the first few letters.
I'd expect your default would be the same as you have set in the System Preferences > International.
You could also make a couple of templates for yourself in both currencies and use them instead.
Numbers is a neat piece of software, keep playing with it and you may well get to like it.

Show Currency Symbol on Mac

hii
I have created a java application using swing. It takes the regional setting of system and based on it, it sets the currency symbol with price value. It works fine on Windows and Linux but When I try to run it on Mac, and I changed the regional setting to UK but It shows US currency symbol. Here is my code to get the currency symbol:
DecimalFormatSymbols objDecimalFormat;
objDecimalFormat = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
String mstrCurrSymbol = objDecimalFormat.getCurrencySymbol();Can anyone please tell me why is it not working on Mac.
Thanks in advance
Sonal

On MAC OS, when the jar file is run, it always detects the Locale as en_US and therefore shows the USD as currency and US English as default language. The code that we are running for testing is:
Locale lclLanguage;
lclLanguage = new Locale(Locale.getDefault().getLanguage(),Locale.getDefault().getCountry());
String strNumberFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(lclLanguage).getCurrency().getSymbol(lclLanguage);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Number format: " + strNumberFormat);
ResourceBundle rbLangBundle = null;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Country: " + lclLanguage.getCountry() + "\r\n" + "Display country: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayCountry() + "\r\n" + "Display Language: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayLanguage() +
        "\r\n" + "Display name: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayName() + "\r\n" + "Display variant: " + lclLanguage.getDisplayVariant() + "\r\n" + "ISO3Country: " + lclLanguage.getISO3Country() + "\r\n" +
        "ISO3language: " + lclLanguage.getISO3Language() + "\r\n" + "Language: " + lclLanguage.getLanguage() + "\r\n" + "Variant: " + lclLanguage.getVariant());
rbLangBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("MessagesBundle", lclLanguage);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "OS: " + System.getProperty("os.name"));
DecimalFormatSymbols objDecimalFormat;
objDecimalFormat = new DecimalFormatSymbols();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Decimal symbol: " + objDecimalFormat.getCurrencySymbol() + "\r\n" +
        "Decimal separator: " + objDecimalFormat.getDecimalSeparator() + "\r\n" +
        "Grouping seperator: " + objDecimalFormat.getGroupingSeparator() + "\r\n" +
        "Percentage: " + objDecimalFormat.getPercent());
The code works fine on different regional settings on Windows machine. However while testing the same on MAC it will always show US English irrespective of what is set in the preferences section. We have about 10 language files which needs to be used based on the Locale that is set on the client’s machine.

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.

Currency symbols on crystal reports rather abbreviation

This may have been discussed before so my aplogise, i'm fairly new to SAP B1 & crystal so may need some simple instructions
I am editing the crystal Purchase Order and I have managed to replace foreign currency abbreviation such as EUR & USD with € and $ respectively but when the GBP abbreviation should be shown as £ it is not.
I believe it has something to do with the OPOR.DocCur which doesn't seem to be used on the purchase order when the business partner is Local Currency (GBP)
I used a case statement like below:
case "USD" : "$"
case "EUR : "€"
case "GBP" : "£"
default "£"
I also removed the case "GBP" : "£" but no joy GBP is showing when the purchase order uses a british business partner.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Ian

Currency Symbol (£) Appearing As Question Mark

Does instant client support currency symbols other than the dollar?
On machines running the full client our application works fine. On machines using 10.2.0.2 instant client (have also tried using 10.1 IC) pound signs are appearing as ? Have spent a lot of time trying to get around this without any luck. On login the session is being altered to use UK territory and currency is being set to £ as a backup, but still it refuses to work.
Looking at v$nls_parameters on the machines show the same thing - territory set correctly, but currency and dual currency are questionmarks.
Both the thin and full client show the same characterset and nchar, just the currency is incorrect on the IC machines.
Any ideas / help appreciated.

Are you using the normal Instant Client or 'Instant Client Light' (e.g., assuming you use Linux, did you download instantclient-basic-linux32-10.2.0.2-20060331.zip or instantclient-basiclite-linux32-10.2.0.2-20060331.zip?
Instant Client Light will only support the following:
* Language: US English
* Territory: Any territory that is supported by Oracle
* Character sets:
o Single byte
+ US7ASCII
+ WE8DEC
o Unicode
+ UTF8
+ AL16UTF16
+ AL32UTF8
(see http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15662/pre_install.htm#sthref106).
If this is not your problem, then maybe you have a wrong setting somewhere.
Let me clarify some things:
o You retrieve a character column that contains the £ character, right?
Then NLS_TERRITORY and NLS_LANGUAGE are irrelevant, they only have an
impact on display formats for numbers and messages and the like.
o When you say 'both installations show the same character set', do you mean
that 'SELECT VALUE FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS WHERE
PARAMETER='NLS_CHARACTERSET' returns the same result in both cases?
That would mean nothing, as this is the database character set and NOT the
client character set.
The setting that determines the client character set is the character set portion of the environment variable NLS_LANG.
To find out what is your problem, please investigate the following:
o Are you using Instant Client Light?
o What are the character set and national character set of the database?
o What is the value of the environment variable NLS_LANG on both client machines?
(If the full client installation is on Windows, also check the value in the Windows
registry).

Euro Currency Symbol Displayed?

I am trying to show the Euro currency symbol in a calculated number field.
I tried changing the locale to English (United Kingdeom - EURO). That still displays the british pound symbol.
Any ideas?

There is a UK Euro option in LiveCycle though. Our office does sell in Euros instead of GBP sometimes.
But what is wierd is when I use Germany or france, to show less than one Euro, it is using a comma instead of a decimal point. That is not how it is shown in our business. For example we would do.
5.32 but LiveCycle is showing it as 5,32
frustrating. Even though in the display pattern I have $z,zz9.99

Currency symbol in interactive report

Hi,
I used oracle format masks "FML..." to show the euro symbol which is defined in the Process "execute immediate 'alter session set NLS_CURRENCY=''€''';"
When it is the first time to open the report, euro symbol shows. But after you do other actions like using filter, the sign changes to '$'. How to control this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello:When it is the first time to open the report, euro symbol shows. But after you do other actions like using filter, the sign changes to '$'. How to control this?This is because Interactive Report regions use PPR (Partial Page Refresh) for filtering/sorting etc. So, your page-processes don't execute. Your best bet is to apply the currency format in the query itself. Something like
select to_char(some_amount,'FML999G999G999G999G990D00') from amt_table;

How to print currency symbol in SAPScript

Hi,
How to print different currency symbol in SAP?

Please help.
Thanks,

Any SAP standard approach to display the currency symbols without hard code?

Hi,
I want to display $ symbol on the report ouput, for the how can we display currency symbols without hard code?
Thanks,
Aarti

Not much chance... If such a standard table exists, then during Euro creation, an OSS note would have been released to add the € character, and I found none, fell free to perform some search on OSS with keywords I didn't try.
So better build your own customer table with foreign relaction to TCURC.
NB: Look for symbol list ($, £, €, ¥, etc.) in sites like Currency symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I hope your system is Unicode.

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.

€ Euro Currency symbol in ActiveSync password not working.

Are there any known issues when using the € Euro Currency symbol as a password for ActiveSync on an iOS device? It appears ActiveSync does not accept the € Euro Currency symbol when used in a password sent from an iPad/iPhone.
Are there any known issues with special characters and ActiveSync?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Dennis

ActiveSync was developed for Windows. You'd have to know what code page the Windows device was using to make sure you understood how the character should be coded.
Generally speaking, I wouldn't use any character in a password that didn't have an ASCII code. We've even had trouble with accented characters.
