Activating the Currency Data Source

How to:

Reference:

Before you can perform currency conversions, you must specify the currency data source by setting the EUROFILE parameter with the SET command. By default, the EUROFILE parameter is not set.

Issue the SET command in a procedure or any supported profile. In Developer Studio, it can also be issued from the Command Console. It cannot be set within a report request.

After a data source is activated, you can access a different currency data source by reissuing the SET command.

Note: The EUROFILE parameter must be set alone. For example, appending an additional SET parameter will cause the additional parameter setting to be lost.
