Printing the EURO currency symbol on lan printer.

[Gianfranco]

Hello iSeriesers,

I'm trying to print the Euro currency symbol but I get a different sign.

Scenario is:

Either using pc keyboard sequence (Alt+E) or using the iSeries hex function (Hex mode + 9F), I'm writing the Euro symbol ("â?¬") hardcoded in a pgm string to be printed.
When I browse the spool I can see it correct but when the spool is printed another symbol appears ("¤").

I had a look at table QASCII on iSeries and it seems that hex 9F is converted to hex D0 while hex E1 is converted to 9F. So I tried to key in hex E1 but the result was another useless symbol.

Anybody has got any idea on how to solve this ASCII/EBCDIC problem?

Thanks.

I think you've to work with "Workstation Customization Programming".
