how can i see the actual curency symbol for the eur,chf which is coming as '?'.

There are (at least) two potential issues:
1. The NLS_LANG settings of the client who has stored the data in the database was wrong and therefore the data in the database is not stored correctly.
2. The NLS_LANG setting of your client that you're using to retrieve the data has the wrong NLS_LANG setting. Therefore an incorrect or no conversion is performed from server to client.
What client are you using? Probably Windows?
You can retrieve your current NLS_LANG setting by using the following command in SQL*Plus:
@[%NLS_LANG%]This will show you something like:
Unable to open file "[GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252]"which shows you within the square brackets the current client NLS_LANG setting which is probably coming from the registry under Windows. It's only rarely defined as environment variable which would take precedence over the registry setting if defined.

Currency Symbol for each amount

Hello People,
I have to include currency symbol infront of each amount in my web dynpro application display.
Example, there is an amount in USD, currency symbol for USD must be published there and
if there is an amount in EUR, currency symbol for EUR must be published there and so on...
Can someone help to know me how can I do that?
Thanks,
Megha

Hi Megha,
If you are going to store the symbols as graphic/icons I would store them in the mimes folder and then reference the the mime name in your custom table. So two fields in your table, currency and mime name.
I think you might find that if using a Unicode system that you can just type the symbol into the table - e.g. $ £ ₧ u20AC rather than having to use any graphics. I suppose it depends on how many symbols you need.
Again - I'm not aware of anything SAP standard that does this.
Good luck,
Chris

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

Bought Garageband for iPad1 and it worked like a dream. Then I upgraded my system to 4.3.5 and now Garageband doesn't work. How come? When I try to start it just flickers and then goes back to show the symbol for the app.

I understood what you were saying. You did type 4.3.5 in your post. Several other things to try.
Close all open apps like I described above. Just tap the home button first so that you will be able to access all of your apps. Close every single one and then restart again.
You can also delete the app and download it again. As long as you use the same Apple ID and password there is no charge to download it again. Tap and hold down on the GarageBand app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X to delete it. Download it again.
Reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10-15 seconds. Ignore the red slider shut off bar. When the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and the iPad will reboot.
The final thing to try is to download another app - any free app. Sometimes that seems to reset something on the iPad. You can always delete the free app if you don't want 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.

Windows Login Screen doesn't show "eye" symbol for Password Reveal and right arrow (Enter)

When logging in to Windows 8.1 the eye symbol and right arrow symbol have been displayed until (I guess so) after an automatic Windows Update . As I was planning to migrate to Windows 10 I didn't invest much investigation into this problem. Now, after successful migration to Windows 10 Home the problem still exists. After typing the password I can't verify it because the eye symbol is still missing and for entering I have to press "Enter" due to the missing clickable right arrow. All this happens with a Microsoft online Account. I established a local account and with this, the eye symbol but not the right arrow reappeared. Many thanks for helping.

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you wish to enable the reveal password icon for your system. I am happy to help. It really depends on which version of the Operating system you are running, because this sort of thing is normally controlled using the Group Policy Editor. That tool is not a part of a Home edition, you would need the Pro version or higher to have that. Assuming that you do have a pro edition or higher, then these may be of help to you:5 Ways to Access Local Group Policy Editor on Windows 10 - isunshare.comDisable or Enable the new Password Reveal Button feature in Windows 8 - windowsclub.com Unfortunately the version of Windows 10 I have installed beside me is the home edition as well, so I cannot access this, to verify, so let me know if that works for you.

Currency symbol not shown when loaded report using JRC

I'm trying to show the currency symbol in the report file. the .rpt files is already designed with MS Access table but now im reusing the report and populating pojo classes to map with tables. the report that is bound with MS Access table shows currency symbol in currency fields. but when I load report with JRC, it is not showing. I tried to change Fieldformat also programattically as below.
ReportObjectController reportObjectController = report.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController();
ReportObjects reportObjects = reportObjectController.getReportObjectsByKind(ReportObjectKind.field);
if (reportObjects != null && !reportObjects.isEmpty())
                 for (int i = 0; i < reportObjects.size(); i++)
                     IReportObject reportObject = reportObjects.getReportObject(i);
                     if (reportObject instanceof IFieldObject)
                         IFieldObject fieldObject = (IFieldObject) reportObject;
                            IFieldFormat ifFormat = fieldObject.getFieldFormat();
                         ifFormatObject = (IFieldFormat) ifFormat.clone(true);
                         break;
for (int count = 0; count < tables.size(); count++)
                    // Set data source for each table
                    setDataSourceForEachTable(tables.getTable(count).getAlias());
reportObjectController = report.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController();
reportObjects = reportObjectController.getReportObjectsByKind(ReportObjectKind.field);
if (reportObjects != null && !reportObjects.isEmpty())
         for (int i = 0; i < reportObjects.size(); i++)
             IReportObject reportObject = reportObjects.getReportObject(i);
           if (reportObject instanceof IFieldObject)
                         IFieldObject fieldObject = (IFieldObject) reportObject;
                         if (fieldObject.getFieldFormat().getNumericFormat() != null)
                              fieldObject.setFieldFormat(ifFormatObject);
                              //fieldObject.setFieldValueType(FieldValueType.currencyField);
                              break;

Above code just get one of the currency field and clones the format. And after setting the pojo datasource, I'm again setting the cloned format to that particular field. But still Im not getting currency symbol in the reports that are loaded via JRC. even I set locale before opening the report. but that also not helping.
report.setLocale(Locale.UK);
report.open(reportName, 0);
Please guide me, If I'm wrong in this.

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.

Locale Currency symbol present in Win but not Linux

I am trying to get the currency symbol for the locale en_NZ (English, New Zealand), which is '$'. However, it works on Windows, but not on Linux. On linux it returns "NZD" which basically means it did not find the symbol for the locale. I am using 1.4.0 on both linux and windows, I even tried overwriting jdk/jre/lib/ext/localdata.jar on the linux system with the one on the windows system, and it still doenst find the symbol.
I have also iterated through all available locales for both the linux and Win JREs, and en_NZ is available.
Has anyone come across this problem?
Thanks
- Adam Langley

You have complete faith in that dont you?
It doesnt work. well, it works, but the Symbol is not found. Not on Linux. And the AU symbol is not fuond on Windows when it is on linux. Very annoying really.
I have quite alot of experience with i18n, and cant see why this wouldnt be found. the libraries are available, but not returning the currect data for some reason.
Try both of these.
System.out.println(java.text.NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("","AU")).getCurrency().getSymbol()); // SHOULD RETURN $, but WIN=AUD, LINUX=$
System.out.println(java.text.NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("","NZ")).getCurrency().getSymbol()); // SHOULD RETURN $, but WIN=$, LINUX=NZD

Displaying one currency symbol per page on groups

I have a report that displays data at grouped levels only. I need to display the currency symbol only once per page on certain fields. While this works on the detail section, it's not working on the group header/footer sections. Does any one know how to limit the currency symbol to one per page on a grouped field? Thanks.

Hoperfully this will make my problem a little more clear:
My report groups on FIELD_A and sums $FIELD_B at the group level. The report displays Group Footer 1 which contains the group name FIELD_A and the sum of $FIELD_B. The user can drill down on the FIELD_A group to see the detail. I only want the currency symbol for the sum of $FIELD_B to be displayed once on each page - on the first line of each page. When I format the sum of $FIELD_B field at the FIELD_A group level, the "display currency symbol once per page" option does not work. I could use a conditional statement to set the currency symbol for the sum of $FIELD_B but I'm don't know how to determine if the sum of $FIELD_B is the first instance of the field on a page.
GROUP FOOTER1 GROUP FIELD_A SUM($FIELD_B)
DETAIL FIELD_A $FIELD_B

No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

Connect it to a wall charger for at least 30 minutes. After that time, while it is still connected to the charger, Reset it by holding down the sleep and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the buttons. Might take a few tries.

Currency symbol only for grand total.

Hi,
My requirement is i want currency symbol $ only for grand total, all the rows in that column do not have the symbol.
I need some your help.
Thank you.

Although I couldn't understand why you dont want currency format in rows, here is my suggestion.
Create your report as
1 dim1.column1 dim2.column2 Measure.Revenue ......... You will get values as below
1 Value1 Dim2Val1 100
1 Value2 Dim2Val2 200
1 Value2 Dim2Val3 300
UNION
2 'Grand Total' ' ' Measure.Revenue
Final result will be as below
1 Value1 Dim2Val1 100
1 Value2 Dim2Val2 200
1 Value2 Dim2Val3 300
2 Grand Total 600
Now apply conditional formatting for dim1.column1 in criteria and make the values Bold
Apply conditional formatting for Measure.Revenue and select Currency in number format.
Let me know if it was helpful or you were looking for something else.
Thanks

Questioning currency symbol LEI rather than RON for ro_RO locale (Romania)

Using java jdk 1.6.0_16 to compile my code in Eclipse. I have code that handles the display of currency values using Locale class in java. When using language = "ro" and country = "RO" for Romania, the currency symbol is LEI when I believe it should be RON, at least that is what a client in Romania is telling me.
Any suggestions on what I could possibly do to make RON the currency symbol or explain to the client why LEI is being used?
Edited by: ooper on Nov 18, 2009 2:41 PM

It's always nice to have sample code which displays the problem. So is this code okay?
Locale ro = new Locale("ro", "RO");
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(ro);
System.out.println(nf.format(13000));So when I compile that as Java 6 and run it under a Sun Java 6 JRE, I get this output at the console:
13.000,00 LEIBut when I compile it as Java 5 and run it under an IBM Java 5 JRE, I get this:
13.000,00 RONI don't have a Sun Java 5 JRE to test with. However when I use this code:
Locale ro = new Locale("ro", "RO");
Currency c = Currency.getInstance(ro);
System.out.println(c.getSymbol());
System.out.println(c.getSymbol(ro));then under the Sun Java 6 JRE I get this:
RON
LEIand under the IBM Java 5 JRE I get this:
RON
RONYes, I agree with your informant that "LEI" is obsolete and "RON" is the correct abbreviation for the currency today, and I have no explanation for why Sun has things coded that way, but perhaps that helps you with a workaround?
