Euro support

The current country code determines the default currency symbol that will be returned by the CEE3MCS callable service.

For countries in the European Union that have adopted the Euro as the legal tender, the currency symbol is represented as a hex string in the default country settings. For specific values, see z/OS Language Environment Programming Reference. The value is taken from a typical code page for the given country, but, of course, the actual graphical representation depends on the code page in use.

Language Environment supports the Euro as the default currency symbol in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. As more countries pass the Economic and Monetary Union convergence criteria and adopt the Euro as the legal currency, the Euro sign will replace the national currency symbol as the default.
