Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
462 AS/400e System Handbook
• The addition of euro keyboard types, including device configuration and device
controller changes
• The addition of euro font and glyph support
For the latest available information and a roadmap to euro currency sign support on the
AS/400, refer to the following Web site:
http://www.as400.ibm.com/euro
All current IBM AS/400 printers and many withdrawn IBM AS/400 printers have been
enhanced to support the euro currency symbol. Updates to external display, print, and client
functions may need to be obtained from other vendors.
This phase of euro support is only for those countries that use the “Latin 1”-based alphabet.
This includes those countries initially participating in the European Monetary Union and other
select countries.
Euro Currency Sign Support Enhancements in V4R5
V4R5 includes Phase II of euro currency sign support. Phase I of euro currency sign support
was included in V4R4 and previous releases. Phase I is for countries that use a Latin
1-based alphabet, which primarily included the countries in the European Monetary Union
(EMU). Phase II is for those countries currently supported in the AS/400 national language
structure who are outside the EMU and whose national standards bodies have approved the
appropriate standards. Examples are Japan, Poland, and Turkey.
As part of continuing globalization enhancements to facilitate data interchange with other
industry-standard operating systems and link to current technologies like XML and LDAP, the
API QlgTransformUCSData was added to convert data from the Unicode encoding form
UCS-2 to Unicode encoding for UTF-8 and vice versa. A Code Character Set ID (CCSID) of
1208 is added to support UTF-8.

System Management Facilities
A variety of tools and functions are available to provide system availability and management.
Some are discussed in this section:
• System Managed Access Path Protection (SMAPP)
SMAPP supports and automates the process of selecting which access paths should be
protected. The system uses the EDTRCYAP value to estimate the amount of journaling to
perform. The shorter the time in this value, the more journaling takes place, which
impedes system performance, but it leads to shorter IPLs. The longer the value is, the
longer the IPLs are. However, the impact of journaling on CPU and DASD utilization is
less.
