Re: Currency Designator/Reporting Issues
John, As mentioned in my original post, running the report with -X USD produces the expected output. It sounds like I've stumbled upon a bug related to the -V option. BTW, I've been meaning to ask, are you still personally using PTA? If so, are you still using Ledger, or are you using Hledger? Thanks!

Re: Currency Designator/Reporting Issues
Ajoeibin - I want to make the change for consistency. Running a report that shows commodities and currencies using the same format just looks better to my eye. John / Martin - either of you have any ideas as to what might be causing this issue? Thanks!

For business - - - - one is expected to run the journal in one's main currency. Other currencies are all handled in the main currency. I think that if there is enough usage of any other currency one could use a sub-journal for any such but imo that would be a fairly high volume of activity and also involve the use of other currency accounts.

Currency Designator/Reporting Issues
When I started using ledger a few years ago, I defaulted to using the dollar symbol ($) in my journal files. This, of course, works just fine. If I want a balance sheet report, I run the following command: ledger -f 1.ldg --price-db price_db.txt -V --strict –explicit ^Ass ^Lia --depth 2 This produces the following output: $xxx.xx Assets $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $-xxx.xx Liabilities $-xxx.xxy $-xxx.xxy $-xxx.xxy $xx,xxx.xx I decided to switch to using USD instead of the dollar symbol. To do this I removed all of the dollar symbols from my journal files and price database and added USD. Following is the format I used: xxx.xx USD Now when I run the exact same balance sheet report, I see commodities that I didn’t see before I made my changes. -5.37578 KO xx,xxx.xx USD -2,139.718 VTHRX Assets xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy -5.37578 KO xxx.xx USD -2,139.718 VTHRXy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy -xxx.xx USD Liabilities -xxx.xx USDy -xxx.xx USDy -xxx.xx USDy -5.37578 KO xx,xxx.xx USD -2,139.718 VTHRX What’s interesting here is that the non-USD commodities appear to be commodities that I’ve previously sold.

Currency Designator/Reporting Issues
When I started using ledger a few years ago, I defaulted to using the dollar symbol ($) in my journal files. This, of course, works just fine. If I want a balance sheet report, I run the following command: ledger -f 1.ldg --price-db price_db.txt -V --strict –explicit ^Ass ^Lia --depth 2 This produces the following output: $xxx.xx Assets $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $xxx.xxy $-xxx.xx Liabilities $-xxx.xxy $-xxx.xxy $-xxx.xxy $xxx,xxx.xx I decided to switch to using USD instead of the dollar symbol. To do this I removed all of the dollar symbols from my journal files and price database and added USD. Following is the format I used: xxx.xx USD Now when I run the exact same balance sheet report, I see commodities that I didn’t see before I made my changes. -5.37578 KO xxx.xx USD -2,139.718 VTHRX Assets xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDCrypto xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy -5.37578 KO xxx.xx USD -2,139.718 VTHRXy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy xxx.xx USDy -xxx.xx USD Liabilities -xxx.xx USDy -xxx.xx USDy -xxx.xx USDy -5.37578 KO xxx,xxx.xx USD -2,139.718 VTHRX What’s interesting here is that the non-USD commodities appear to be commodities that I’ve previously sold.
