Print EURO symbol u20AC in smartform

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am trying to print the EURO symbol 'u20AC' in smartform; user types the euro symbol in the Invoice header text, but the Invoice smartform prints some other characters when I print the header text;

Appreciate your help if some of you have a solution to print the euro symbol in the header text by smartform;

Thank you very much

Hello Ivor

Take a look at the KBA [1603741 |https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6B65793D30303230303732303432303030303035333532383230313126]- Printing Euro and Trademark symbols

Symptom

There are problems to print the euro character U20AC and and trademark character U2122.

Cause

This can vary depending on the device type used to create the spool and whether the system is Unicode or non-Unicode. The problem is because the characters are not supported in the system character set or the character set of the device type.

Resolution

In Unicode systems, these characters can be printed via windows and cascading fonts device type SWINCF. The unicode system codepage supports these characters and the character set 4220 of device type SWINCF also supports these characters U20AC and U2122. In a Unicode system, it is also possible to print the euro and trademark characters via Unicode device types like HPUTF8 or LEXUTF8 In this case, the printer must also be Unicode. i.e. It must have a built-in hard disk, which contains Unicode fonts and symbol sets.(see notes 750219 and 215015)

For non-unicode systems, it is more difficult. For sapscript and smartforms, it is possible to use both signs for releases >= 4.6A. In the graphical SAPScript editor, available as of, you can select "Edit" > "Command..."-> "Insert Command" -> "SAP character" and then enter the SAP character number 156 (Euro sign) or 357 (trademark sign). With this method, it is possible to print the euro and tradwmark characters. You need to use one of the device types specified in note #129581. or in the old line editor, you can enter <156> or <357>(between "<" and ">" without spaces). It is not necessary to add any character to the character set if you use one of thes device types listed in note #129581. The print of the euro and trademark characters are only possible for postscript device types POST2, I2HPPS and I4HPPS after you implement note #1334841.
