Euro symbol in PO Layout output preview

[Former Member]

Hello,

When I view the output preview of the <u>Purchase Order (SmartForms) layout</u> ... the symbol for the <b>Euro currency</b> is <u>not</u> displayed correctly and appears rather as the character "<b>#</b>".

How can I fix this??

Thanks,

Tim

Still in process of trying the Notes you referred... will let u know, Thanks, Tim

An update for you, not this OSS Note has not fixed our issue... in fact in debug I see we are having codepage 4102 ... and for some reason the Euro symbol doesnt show for this, and is not converted using the OSS Note update you provided...

So at this point I have no idea what to do... I read all the threads concerning this issue and there doesnt seem to be a direct solution!

Any ideas from here?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Tim,

Are you using non unicode system ?

If yes, euro symbol is not available.

Please check OSS notes 674715, 988373, 916852

We found the solution by doing the following (ideas taken from OSS Notes 323736 and 1017149) :

<i>First</i> copied <u>Device Type</u> <b>PDF1</b> to a specific <b>ZPDF1</b>, and then changed the <u>Character Set</u> from <b>1117</b> to <b>1116</b>.

<i>Secondly</i>, in table <b>TSFDEVTY</b>, for the entry :

APPL = <b>SAPDEFAULT</b>

LANGUAGE = <b>EN</b>

DEVTYPE = <b>PDF1</b>

We put instead :

APPL = <b>SAPDEFAULT</b>

LANGUAGE = <b>EN</b>

DEVTYPE = <b>ZPDF1</b>
