CCA, CCB, CCC, CCD, and CCE Subcommands (SET command)

You can use the subcommands CCA, CCB, CCC, CCD, and CCE to specify up to five custom currency formats.

Each custom currency subcommand defines one custom format and can include four specifications in the following order: a negative prefix, a prefix, a suffix, and a negative suffix.
The specifications are delimited by either periods or commas, whichever you do not want to use as a decimal point in the format.
If your custom currency format includes periods or commas that you need to distinguish from delimiters, use a single quotation mark as an escape character before the period or comma that is part of the custom currency format. For example, if the format includes a period but the decimal indicator is a comma, the period must also be used as the delimiter.
Each currency specification must always contain three commas or three periods. All other specifications are optional.
Use blanks in the specification only where you want blanks in the format.
The entire specification must be enclosed in single or double quotation marks. If the format includes a single quotation mark as an escape character, the entire specification must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
A specification cannot exceed 16 characters (excluding the apostrophes).
Custom currency formats cannot be specified as input formats on DATA LIST. Use them only as output formats in the FORMATS, WRITE FORMATS, PRINT FORMATS, WRITE, and PRINT commands.

Specifying a Custom Currency Format

SET CCA='-,$,,'.

A minus sign (-) preceding the first command is used as the negative prefix.
A dollar sign is specified for the prefix.
No suffixes are specified (there are two consecutive commas before the closing apostrophe).
Because commas are used as separators in the specification, the decimal point is represented by a period.

Specifying Multiple Custom Currency Formats

SET CCA='(,,,-)'  CCB=',,%,' CCC='(,$,,)' CCD='-/-.Dfl ..-'.
FORMATS VARA(CCA9.0)/ VARB(CCB6.1)/ VARC(CCC8.0)/ VARD(CCD14.2).
