Has anyone come across a good example of how to write an RPG3 report that can handle different currencies?

E.g. the example I am looking for is where a single report can be run to print out columns with a dollar symbol or pound depend on a currency variable:

Some pages of the report would need to print out prices in dollars

Price
$123.45
$678.90

And on another page of the report to print out a column with prices in pounds:

Price
£123.45
£678.90

Google has turned up discussion about *CURSYM and about how to use the EDTWRD for floating currency symbols, but no examples of where currency symbols can be changed dynamically in the program.

Best regards,

Mike
