The correction is to have just one '$' in the picture string, making it a fixed-position currency symbol, and to remove two leading blanks (indicated by 'b') from the result strings. Thus: 123456.78 Picture: "-$**_***_**9.99" Result: "b$***123,456.78" "bFF***123.456,78" (currency = "FF", separator = '.', radix mark = ',') Note that one of the ACVC tests currently relies on the incorrect version of the example and thus will need to be revised. ****************************************************************
