RE: T-SQL division drops the decimal?
Joshua, I bump into this all the time. You said it is a numeric field but what is the definition of your numeric field. If it is something like numeric(5,0) then there are no decimal places for it to work with. Like Mark said, to get the fraction part just do it as 2.0 and T-SQL will to an implicit type conversion of all the numbers and return the fraction part. __ Bill Grover Supervisor MIS Phone: 301.424.3300 x3324 EU Services, Inc.

RE: T-SQL division drops the decimal?
The numeric field where the result is stored does make a difference, but the 2 is in your division is making the difference below. If you want a decimal result then you must divide by a decimal. I tried one using: newcolumn = '' +mycolumn/2+ '.' +mycolumn%2+ '' 0 = 1/2 / 2 1/4 = 1/2 / 2.0 Kevin Webb -Original Message- From: Bill Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 6:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: T-SQL division drops the decimal?

I think it depends on the datatypes you're using as inputs to the division calculation, if they are integers then it does have problems, you could try using: (CAST(myfield AS float))/(CAST(myfield2 AS float)) if myfield1 and myfield2 are integers Alex -Original Message- From: Joshua Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 July 2003 16:15 To: CF-Talk Subject: T-SQL division drops the decimal?

RE: T-SQL division drops the decimal?
Joshua, MS SQL automatically returns the type you use. Looks to me like you are dividing 2 integers. You need to cast or convert at least one of the numbers to float to get a float returned. This got to be such a pain for me that I wrote a function to do the division (MSSQL 2000). It converts both numbers to float and then checks for nulls and zero. If there is a null or zero I just return a 0.0 (due to the bus requirements here). If you want the functions, let me know.

Actually it's acting the way I would expect, which is like a C compiler: If all of the numbers appear to be ints then it does integer math. If *any* of the numbers is a float then it does float math. Try this expression instead and see what you get: icode=tblDomReportData.rpoints/2.0 Since 2.0 looks like a float it will return a float.
