The impact of the euro is far-ranging, and not limited solely to European companies. Anyone with the need to conduct a financial transaction with a European customer or supplier will find it necessary to modify their information systems to support the euro. Many of these companies will not be located in Europe, for in today's global economy, the distinction of geographical location becomes increasingly blurred over time. This document outlines the technical implementation of support for the euro within the Solaris operating environment and provides guidance to developers who are tasked with the transition of application or information systems to support the euro currency standard. The Solaris operating environment and the Java language provide input, output, and printing support for the euro, as well as system support for ISVs who wish to use supported APIs to format monetary strings. The following sections detail how euro currency support is implemented.
