hi ,
I have a column with datatype as decimal(31,2) . The data is like
123456.67 , 7634578.99
Is it a way to convert the entire number into character . like
'1232456.67' .

The output should not be like as below :
db2 => select char(decimal(BAL_PRINCIPAL,31,2)) from
BIKASHK.RPT_BA_PAD331 where
integer(Bal_principal)!=0

1
---------------------------------
00000000000000000000010025000.00
00000000000000000000010025000.00
00000000000000000000010025000.00
00000000000000000000010025000.00

4 record(s) selected.

Rather It should be

10025000.00
10025000.00
10025000.00
10025000.00

For the above 4 rows and it should be 'char' in data type.

Appreciate your help .
Best Regards
Bikash Karan

Just LTRIM or STRIP the leading 0s
