Using global variables to define the currency symbol

If you require a currency symbol that is not represented on the keyboard, you can specify the currency symbol by using the HEX value in a Procedure with Logic. For example, the following PROC will set the currency symbol to HEX '9F':

/*   */
"SET GLOBAL (DSQDC_CURRENCY =" '9F'X

If trailing blanks are needed for the currency symbol, you can put the currency symbol in single quotes as follows:

SET GLOBAL (DSQDC_CURRENCY = 'FR '

You can use the command in either the command line or in a linear PROC.
