Mark,
        I've read a few of the other suggestions and I have 2 general comments 
which may help.
1. rather than outputting to CSV "print" & format each line to the file
2. CSV=comma separated VALUES.  32.3 IS 32.30.  32.30 is how the value is 
displayed.  If you store irrelevant 0s then the resulting file will be bigger.  
You could try fixed width field output (requiring even more space?)

What is the file to be used for?  If input to spreadsheet or database then 
there should be problem.

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.

TIA

Mark
