XFOR: PROFS and SNADS Connector Does Not Support Euro Symbol |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
SYMPTOMS
The PROFS or OV/VM connector does not support the Euro character when
translating messages between Exchange Server and the host. For the Windows
code page, 1252, the Euro maps to 'x80' (Alt-0128).
CAUSE
The PROFS and SNADS connector is not equipped to handle the translation of
the Euro symbol between the new host code page 1182 to the Windows code
page 1252 (available in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 and Windows 98)
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack
STATUS
Microsoft acknowledges this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.5.
MORE INFORMATION
The PROFS and SNADS connector now correctly translates the Euro dollar
symbol when transferring messages between Exchange Server and the host.
Customers will need to update their IBM host software to the latest version
in order to support this new code page.
The new 1148 code page is simply the old 500 code page with a single
character addition for the Euro symbol.
