Bull S.A.May 25th, 1999
Remarks:
• It is not necessary for AIX to manage the Euro character when the firmware of terminals
or printers do it at their level: AIX will simply stock the binary value hex a4 as any binary
value.
• On the contrary, AIX has to provide the fonts of the Euro character for graphic consoles.
• Names of files can include the Euro symbol.
4. Compilers and Euro
Compilers do support the Euro character.
4.1 Cobol
Cobol MicroFocus follows the X/OPEN standard, and thus allows localization and in
particular the management of the monetary symbol in editions.
To compile the Euro character, use one of the following methods:
• Use the internationalization function (locale).
• Or use the binary value of the Euro character: hex 282ac, 80, or a4.
Remarks:
• You can compile with the NLS environment division.
• For examples of conversions of currencies inside a program, refer to the “Work-arounds”
section.
4.2 C Compiler
To compile the Euro character, use one of the following methods:
• Use the internationalization function (locale). The locale can be modified inside a
program, thus allowing conversions of currencies.
• Or use the binary value of the Euro character: hex 282ac, 80, or a4.
4.3 FORTRAN
To compile the Euro character use its binary value: hex 282ac, 80, or a4.
5. Terminals and Euro
