Dollar Sign in Bar Graph

I have a bar graph program that displays dollar amounts (format D9.2M) on the left-hand side of horizontal bars. The dollar sign displays correctly in MRE test, version 7.1.7, but when the graph is run in MRE QA, the dollar sign turns into a square box. Has anyone ever had this problem and does anyone know how to fix this problem in MRE QA? Pasted below is the set command used to format the dollar amounts. Thanks.

setTextFormatPreset(getY1Label(),5);

Michele,

Your MRE test and MRE QA are different from everybody else's MRE environments, so we wouldn't have a definitive answer on "how to fix this problem in MRE QA".

Are both environments the same version?

Perhaps a setting that can be modified by the WebFOCUS Admin Console could correct the problem.

Go to WF Admin Console (http://server:port/ibi_html/wfconsole.htm) > Configuration > NLS Settings > WebFOCUS Client Code Page

Compare the two environments.

You might check to insure that the graph formats are the same in both versions. The setting that you are using (setTextFormatPreset)may not exist in both.

The problem exists when the graph is displayed in pdf format. When I took out the pdf format, the dollar sign appears correctly. Thanks.

We have the same problems with the Euro sign. It works in HTML but not in PDF. The IBI technicians say it is a known problem.

After the program was moved to production, the dollar sign reappeared. It got changed only in QA. Thanks.
