The EUROCURR function converts a specific country's currency to an equivalent amount in another country's currency. It can also convert a specific country's currency to euros. EUROCURR uses the values in either the fixed currency conversion rate table or the changeable currency conversion rate table to convert currency.

If you are converting from one country's currency to euros, SAS divides by thatfrom-currency-amount country's rate from one of the conversion rate tables. See Converting from Deutsche Marks to Euros . If you are converting from euros to a country's currency, SAS multiplies by thatfrom-currency-amount country's rate from one of the conversion rate tables. See Converting from Euros to Deutsche Marks . If you are converting one country's currency to another country's currency, SAS first converts the from-currency-amount to euros. SAS stores the intermediate value in as much precision as your operating environment allows, and does not round the value. SAS then converts the amount in euros to an amount in the currency that you are converting to. See Converting from French Francs to Deutsche Marks .
