Does anybody know of a way for a function to return the number with its decimal places
INCLUDING zeros ie to the right of the decimal places. the number was orignal in char(Dont ask why) and we used to number to conver it with
a format mask ie to_number('1.200',999.999) and we still got 1.2 when we require 1.200
.Is this a bug with the function to_number or do we have to specifically set up som,ething inthe ora.ini.
Oracle 7.2.3.
