[DUG] SQL question

[Mark Howard]

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.
Thanks
Mark
