Locale currency Info

Maarten Mostert-2

Hi,

 

When creating MS-Project files, I need to provide currency information.

 

Notably the following:

 

#CurrencyDigits -> '2'.

#CurrencySymbol -> '€'.

#CurrencyCode -> 'EUR'.

#CurrencySymbolPosition -> '3'.

 

Doing Locale current  currencyPolicy  doesn't give a lot of information.

 

Do I miss something ?

 

Regards,

 

Maarten,

Re: Locale currency Info

Kooyman, Les
Maarten:

You make a good point. We of course know the currency symbol and code, but do not surface them currently as instance variables. They appear in the format for printing as modified for currency. The only time I believe we use the code is as a substitute for the currency symbol where there is no known symbol.

What is the meaning (in your context) of currency digits and currency symbol position?

Once I know the above, I can look into the CLDR and see how it is represented there and what we can do about adding this to 8.0. 

Thank you for pointing this out.

Probably some versions of MS-Project cannot convert all locales coming from abroad, that's why we they ask to specify all, including digits and currency position.

Here you go for Microsoft requirements

Kooyman, Les
Thanks for the links. 

I will follow up on this. Integrating with MS-Project is "goodness" from my perspective.

Les

P.S. Note that the formats we use for printing currency are derived from the CLDR and may differ from what MS does sometimes. If there's any followup in that regard after I look at the MS links I'll drop a further note in here; but expect Cincom Smalltalk to take its lead from the CLDR in this area.

On Windows, an alternative would be to use the Win32 API:

GetLocaleInfoEx()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318103%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

and query for:

LOCALE_ICURRENCY
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd373755%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
LOCALE_SINTLSYMBOL

Hi Holger,

Thanks for the tip. Just notice that I basically need this info to be able to work with imports and exports on files made for a currencies different from my local one.  So If I import a file with USD I either convert the dollars into Euros or I keep on working with USD in a consistent way by setting my locale to work with dollars.
The currency digit thing is obviously more like a preference. If you're used to work in k€ or M$ your not going to specify 2 or 3 digits for your numbers.

Regards,

Maarten,

Re: Locale currency Info

Kooyman, Les
Maarten, you're of course welcome to use whatever you find helpful in your own work, but rather than hardcoding things, I prefer to access them from the CLDR since believe it or not, currency symbols and codes do change (although not rapidly). That way when they change, we'll pull in fresh information. (This is also the basis for the same information in ICU.)

You can look in the CLDR and see the history of currency changes for a territory - this currency was valid for this date range, then this one, and so forth.

It's actually kind of fascinating in a geopolitical kind of way. :-)

Thanks for the links. 

I will follow up on this. Integrating with MS-Project is "goodness" from my perspective.

Les

P.S. Note that the formats we use for printing currency are derived from the CLDR and may differ from what MS does sometimes. If there's any followup in that regard after I look at the MS links I'll drop a further note in here; but expect Cincom Smalltalk to take its lead from the CLDR in this area.

Les,

Thank you for looking into this.

What is the meaning (in your context) of currency digits and currency symbol position?

Probably some versions of MS-Project cannot convert all locales coming from abroad, that's why we they ask to specify all, including digits and currency position.

Here you go for Microsoft requirements


Regards,

Maarten,

Once I know the above, I can look into the CLDR and see how it is represented there and what we can do about adding this to 8.0. 

Thank you for pointing this out.

Subject: [vwnc] Locale currency Info

Hi,

 

When creating MS-Project files, I need to provide currency information.

 

Notably the following:

 

#CurrencyDigits -> '2'.

#CurrencySymbol -> '€'.

#CurrencyCode -> 'EUR'.

#CurrencySymbolPosition -> '3'.

 

Doing Locale current  currencyPolicy  doesn't give a lot of information.

 

Do I miss something ?

 

Regards,

 

Maarten,
