Hello, I have digged further on this one.
Previous to 01-Jan-2002, European union countries were using national
currencies. French Franc for me.
Since 01-Jan-2002, (most of) European union countries are using Euro
currency.
I have created a ledger file with transaction using French Franc
currency, and Euro currency.
I used the "D 1000,00 €" directive in my ledger file to tell that
default currency is Euro.
But either ledger v2 or ledger v3 are reporting using old French Franc
currency.
Does that means that "D AMOUNT" directive does not "Specifies the
default commodity to use" as described in documentation ?
Also, ledger v2 and ledger v3 are reporting different results.
