Multi Currecy app

[TuzMwaura]

Does any one has idea how to make an application to utilize multi-currency on runtime. I have the settings file with a default currency I want to use globally.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Hi!

If it is an accounting system, you need to ::
- have a base currency (local currency)
- have all other currencies with a fixed exchange rate (book rate) to the base currency
- have transactions using the current/applicable exchange rate with Currency Loss/Gain being recorded as the difference between the transaction exchange rate and the book rate.

Need more information to give more specific help.

Thanks Shankar,

To be more specific, I just want to format the currency amount pictures based on the base currency format. E.g. If my based currency format is $, then have the system apply the format to all variables used as currency. if I change base currency format to ¥, its applied across the the board.

Am sorry for not clarifying this earlier

Hi Tuz,

There is a 3rd party product called DigitChanger from

http://www.clariontemplates.com/DigitChanger_e.html

priced at $39 to do what you want.

Otherwise, create a small template (as shown below) which identifies the controls to change in a window and write the code after Opening the Window to change the picture using PROP:Text of the Entry controls.

#EXTENSION(CHANGE_PICTURE,'Change Picture format for Controls in a Window'),PROCEDURE
  #DISPLAY('Control(s) to Change Picture')
  #PROMPT('Choose Control',CONTROL),%PictChangeFields,MULTI('Choose Control'),INLINE
#!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#AT(%WindowManagerMethodCodeSection,'Init','(),BYTE'),PRIORITY(8001)
#!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#FOR(%PictChangeFields)
  %PictChangeFields{PROP:Text} = '...Change this to Logic OR Constant according to your needs ...'
  DISPLAY(%PictChangeFields)
#ENDFOR

#ENDAT

Thank you Shankar,

I was thinking of an extension template route.

Thanks once again
