hi,

this should work for you

DATA:
  w_i TYPE p decimals 2 ,
  w_c(10) TYPE c VALUE '-123.12' .

CONDENSE w_c.
w_i = w_c.
WRITE:/ w_i.

that might be happening because you have not condensed it and character is left justified and your currency field is right justified so condense it and then pass it into the packed.

thanks
