[Quoted] Hi Everyone,

[Quoted] I have a column in my database which displays information like this:

312.200463260440213486618344769832761638 71.84514585513286835742982511836200263337 54.88363435721267112681207905366965929238 and so on..........

I want to show this value to the max of two decimal places. (i.e 54.88 ) How [Quoted] would I do this??

I display the oracle data using cgi scripts and call an embedded SQL statement like this:

$getfactor = $dbh->prepare(qq{select customer_id, pkg, p_domain, network, country, bytes, factor from _at_tablename WHERE factor > '$fa ctor%' and pkg like '%$sqlpkg%' and p_domain like '%$sqldom%' and network like '%network%' order by bytes desc});

If I know the oracle command to take these values to two decimal places I could use it in the above statement.

Many thanks,
Nick
