Thank you George. The code snippet works. One question, I tested the code using both Win32API and Kernel32 dlls, and the result is the same. Should I assume that they are using the same Windows API function?

DECLARE INTEGER GetSystemDefaultLCID IN Win32API
>DECLARE INTEGER GetLocaleInfo IN Win32API;
>  INTEGER Locale,	INTEGER LCType,;
>  STRING @lpLCData,	INTEGER cchData
>#DEFINE LOCALE_SCURRENCY = 0x14
>dwLCID = GetSystemDefaultLCID()
>buf = SPACE(260)
>buflen = LEN(buf)
>lnresult = GetLocaleInfo(dwLCID, LOCALE_SCURRENCY, @buf, buflen)

I think you can make it out from this.
