Traci I've tried round and trunc but they both drop any trailing "0"'s I'v also cast to Char but I can't find anything in the DBISAM documentation about casting to a defined format of Char ie $$$.$$ or F5.2 etc I want to avoid doing a complicated manipulation involving string lengths and substrings to build what I want - if there is another way.

Depends on the database, there are formating type functions like to_char , round, trunc etc... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Howard Sent: Friday, 24 June 2005 11:23 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [DUG] SQL question Can anyone suggest a way to return a figure of (say) 32.30 from a SQL SELECT statement, instead of the 32.3? I would like the returned number formatted as I'm just sending the dataset straight out to a CSV file. I'm using DBISAM but I'm willing to try ANY suggestions to see if they work.
