Note

COBOL2000 supports the Euro symbol to the extent that the Euro symbol is allowed in character strings and comments of a COBOL program. The Euro symbol is also allowed in the CURRENCY-SIGN clause, and its use is supported in the PICTURE clause. More details on this can be found in the BS2000/OSD Softbooks [12].
