NLS - Addition of Indian Rupee symbol as a SAS format

Pramod_R — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 06:20:02 GMT

Hi,

The new Indian Rupee symbol was introduced in July 2010. (Refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign) I was wondering if and when SAS could include this informat instead of the existing NLMNLINRw.d format/informat.

Is there a new package already available which we may need to download from the SAS site?

Thanks in Advance Message was edited by: Pramod.R
