Ur question itself has the answer, marked by me in red.

A simple F1 on write statement wud have given u the solution.

Sap has provided really intensive documantation with examples so try to make use of it.

use as write: lw_amount currency <ur currency key>.

Well if u want to print u need to know its key,

from where r u getting ur amount, in the same structure or table u'll be getting key of type waers.

hi,

If u r displaying a list, then just move that amount to other field (of type p decimals 2), u can avoid that

error...

in above case i think u r going to print amount and currency.. if that is not the requirement and has to display only amount with out that error... u can use TYPE P.

use transaction ABAPDOCU and go to Keywords : type WRITE.

Search for the CURRENCY addition

WRITE: I_TAB-MENGE UNIT 'EKPO-MENGE'
