[Lazarus] whats wrong with that line of code?

[Werner Pamler]

As Michael said "%M" is not a format specifier for the FormatCurr 
function, use "0.00" to get two decimal places . Moreover, as I see in 
my tests, the currency symbol is not added (because "FormatCurr()" 
internally calls "FormatFloat()"). I must confess that the docs are 
quite confusing here...

This should work
   Label2.Caption := FormatCurr('0.00 €', 111111111.0);
