CURRENCY SIGN IS literal
The non-numeric literal is used in the PICTURE clause to represent a currency
symbol other than the
$
(dollar sign). Alternate currency symbols are used for
foreign currency. The literal must be a single character and may not be any of
the following:
digits 0-9
alphabetic characters ABC D E P R S V X Z
space
special characters
*
+ - , . ; () "
If the CURRENCY SIGN clause is absent, only
$
(dollar sign) may be used as
a currency symbol in a PICTURE clause.
DECIMAL- POINT IS COMMA
This clause indicates that the function of comma and period are exchanged in
any PICTURE clause character string and in numeric literals. This clause
is useful for specifying foreign currency.
Example:
SPECIAL-NAMES.
SYSTEM-OUTPUT IS PRINT,
'A' IS EJECT, CURRENCY SIGN IS 'M',
DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA.
This section consists of the header INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION and the two
