- Changes the currency code being reported on; i.e. all "F" variables (and other variables which use the currency code being reported on), in the remainder of the current block will use the details from the currency code supplied. If used in a Range screen then this will affect the whole report. If no expression is supplied, the actual result of the function will be numeric - "1" if the currency exists or "0" if otherwise.

- The function may be used in this way in a block after using the function as in method 2, to change the currency being reported on back to the previous value.
