Example: Displaying the Japanese Yen Symbol

The following request uses the EMPLOYEE data source and sets the currency symbol to the Japanese yen. Since the EMPLOYEE Master File specifies the format D12.2M for the CURR_SAL field, the yen symbol displays as the currency symbol for its field values:

TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE       
PRINT CURR_SAL            
BY LAST_NAME              
ON TABLE SET CURRSYMB JPY 
ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL     
END                       

The output is:

LAST_NAME               CURR_SAL
