Formatting a currency value in a Write statement

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement like this. I write a currency value in a report. The value which is written does not contain the unit of the currency. I would like to display the value with the unit like $ABC, though the value I get is only ABC. I dont want to concatenate the amount and put it into a string and then display it. Is there any syntax to display the currency value along with the unit without explicitly writing a logic for it?

Greatly appreciate your reply...

Thanks

You have to do the concatenation if you want the currency symbol, no other way.
