[DUG] SQL question

[Jason Saggers]

You could always use a string format in the output to CSV statement, and
not have to worry about having the DB provide the correct format.

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
