£ (Pound) Currency Sign In I-Web 08

I am about to loose the will to live. Every time i type a £ symbol in iweb it shows perfectly in i-web and the save to a folder preview. The moment i publish the page to the net, the £ symbol is prefixed by an accented capital A, which looks terrible. Any bright spark out there have a fix for this nightmare???

How to change currency sign in report

How can I change the currency sign in report like from dollar to pound sign. Any help and advice will be highly appreciated.

Sherry,
I'm stumbling my way thru the same question. we need to print the currency symbol based on the country defined in the data. here's the not-so-short answer:
we're looking into storing the currency symbol as a unicode value (NVARCHAR2 field) in the database by country and linking it to the data selected in the report. I have a select statement in the report sql that retrieves the correct unicode value per data row. the question then seems to become: do i want to display the field as a number with a format mask, or convert the whole thing to a string/char value?
Keeping everything as a number, in the report format field Format Trigger, i create a mask for each field and call a function to do the following:
v_format := q'{(}' || q'{"}' || p_currency || q'{"}' || v_format || q'{)}';
this gives you a mask with the parenthesis for negative numbers, the currency as literal string, and the v_format (NN,NNN,NNN,NNN,NN0.00) for currency amounts. we vary the # of decimal places and pass that value into the function (just to make things complicated.)
the 'uber complex' version of the function converts the number field to a string/char value. this allows you to change the decimal and separator values for an individual data row. we have not decided to implement this, but it works. you have to enter a 'bogus' character field in the report format and use srw.set_field to change the value at runtime. this keeps the value as a number in the sql for math, but a char to display. complicated. the function does this...
          v_format := '999G999G999G990';
          v_decimalplaces := MOD((p_decimalplaces * 10),10);
          IF v_decimalplaces > 0 THEN
                         v_format := v_format || 'D';
               FOR i in 1..v_decimalplaces LOOP
               v_format := v_format || '9';
               END LOOP;
          END IF;
          CASE WHEN SIGN(p_value) >= 0
               THEN
                    v_format := p_currency || TO_CHAR(p_value, v_format, 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '',.'' ');
                    ELSE
                    v_format := '(' || p_currency || TO_CHAR(ABS(p_value), v_format, 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '',.'' ') || ')';
               END CASE;
we would pass the values of NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS to the function.
the last 'hitch' is that not every UNICODE currency symbol displays properly. the euro (hex 20AC) is fine, but the korean won (hex 20A9) is not. the database character set is AL32UTF8, and the sql works fine in sql_developer. however, reports does not reliably display the symbol. i have a TAR into oracle at the moment, hoping for clarification. there seem to be many layers in oracle reports to get this to work (database character set, report server character set, font in developer, font on report server, etc.)
let us know how it goes...an often asked, but rarely answered question (IMO). hopefully this gives you some ideas.
thanks,
john

Multi-language currency sign display

Did anyone figure out how to display multiple currencies utilizing unicodes. I have a need to dynamically display euro, yen, pound, or us dollar signs. The currency sign needs to be stored within database and pulled out on the form or report needs.

I am not sure what you mean by displaying currencies utilizing Unicode. The four currencies that you listed can be supported by the Microsoft English Windows codepage-1252 without going to Unicode. And also you don't need to store currency symbols inside the database, it can be retrieved via SQL by dynamically changing the NLS_TERRITORY session parameter.
SQL> alter session set nls_territory=america;
Session altered.
SQL> select to_char( '123.45','L999.99') from dual;
TO_CHAR('123.45',
$123.45
SQL> alter session set nls_territory="united kingdom";
Session altered.
SQL> select to_char( '123.45','L999.99') from dual;
TO_CHAR('123.45',
�123.45
SQL> alter session set nls_territory=japan;
Session altered.
SQL> select to_char( '123.45','L999.99') from dual;
TO_CHAR('123.45',
�123.45
SQL> alter session set nls_territory=france;
Session altered.
SQL> select to_char( '123,45','L999.99') from dual;
TO_CHAR('123,45',
�123.45

Wrong currency sign

Somewhere along the way, AppleWorks 6.2.9 on my machine has decided that my currency sign is the British Pound sign (£). Granger Morton posted this response when I mentioned the problem in another thread:
I just had this problem and in desperation changed the settings in System Prefs/Formats.
Although in 'Formats" it was on british pound (which I wanted....it was showing dollars in appleworks spreadsheet) I changed it to Zimbabwe dollar, started appleworks and spreadsheet was showing Zimbabwe dollar. After closing apleworks, I changed it back to British pound, started appleworks..... job done, set back to the good old pound. Obviously a little glitch somewhere.
I've gone through the general procedure he describes—quit AppleWorks, change the System Preferences > International > Format... Currency setting to one of the other choices, then start AppleWorks, open a new spreadsheet, format a cell to Currency with the default precision of 2, and enter a value—but to no avail. No matter what currency I've set the System prefs to, AppleWorks continues to display £123.00 (or similar) in the cell. Any ideas?

Barry

Hmm, just like me. Are you using one of Apple's
Canuck layouts, like the CSA one, or the patch that
puts up a Maple Leaf even tho' the keyboard's 100%
US?
Ther are two Canadian keyboard layouts in 10.4.x, "Canadian" and "Canadian French—CSA". I'm using the former.
I ask because a switch to the Union Jack will
assuredly put a pound sign in your formats, as you
describe, and Old Glory will likewise give you dollar
signs. Apple's idea of Canadian keyboards (and
attendant format assumptions) is something only a
swivel servant committee could love. The patch
(Google "CanUSA.rsrc") is the layout for the rest of
us
Try the Aussie flag, or the US and see if either
cures your ill. If so, get the patch.
Both the OZ and USA layouts make no difference. Even with the US keyboard selected, System Prefs set to show currency as US Dollars, and a restart of AppleWorks, the spreadsheet still attaches £ to currency.
From what you've said, Tom's patch isn't likely to help, n'est pas?

Barry

My i-pad 2 keyboard will not pop up with trying to sign into a web site or Facebook.. Does anyone know how to get it to come up?

Make sure you click in the text box for username and password to bring up the keyboard.
Try powering off your iPad by holding the power button and sliding the red slider when it appears, or try resetting your iPad by holding the power and home buttons together until the apple logo appears.
I would also highly recommend an app for facebook, it's called MyPad.

€ currency sign not acceptable in RSKC

Hi BW experts,
I tried to add the u20AC currency sign in transaction RSKC but the system converted it to # when execute button is it. The system also produces an error message 'The input field contains prohibited characters (already deleted)'.
There is an OSS note 1159373 (Euro character not loaded during file upload) which explains the cause of this error. This note applies to a unicode system however my BI7 system isn't set as unicode. My BI7 system is currently on support pack 18.
I do not want to use ALL_CAPITAL in RSKC as it has caused a lot of issues previously. Is there another way to fix this problem ? I currently have text data with u20AC in them.
Please help.
Many thanks,
Anthony

Currency sign in identifiers - what about � � � �?

Is the following true for any currency sign?
[from tutorial http://www.javacertificate.com/]
An identifier is a word used by the programmer to name a variable, method, class, or label.
Identifiers can start with the currency sign $,�, but cannot start with a digit. Identifiers can start with any currency sign as long it is a Java Letter.
what about � � � �?
�_euro
�price
�ytuy978
are these valid identifiers?

You can test it with the method Character.isJavaIdentifierStart(char c).
And for example,
java.lang.Object \u20ac = new Object(); //the unicode escape \u20ac is for the euro symbol
System.out.println(\u20ac.toString());runs normally.

Hi,
You can enable currency in the reporting output using following steps:
Query properties> Display> select Display scaling factors for key figures.
but using this option currency($) will be displayed after the amount. it means key figure values will be displayed like 300$, 800$.
hope it helps..

Text view with price and currency sign

Hello,
I have a textview in an table showing the netprice. The datatype is CURR. I would like to show the currency sign in the same textview, e.g. 1,87. Is this possible and how?
regards
stefan

Hi Stefan,
Declare another attribute in your table (say final_price) of type string. For all the elements in your node, concatenate the price and currency and fill in the values for final_price. Now, let your text view display final_price.
For example, this is how your data should look in the node
price-curr-final_price
100-------100
24--------24
Hope this helps.

I found the answer in the "More like this" column - the figure three - which looks like a hash key types the pound sign. Hope I do not need the hash key!
It sounds like you are using the British keyboard layout when you have a US keyboard. Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for US and uncheck the box for British. That way the keys will produce what it says on them. £ will be at option/alt + 3.
