Hi All,
Could anyone help me with the code to convert Decimal(18,6) format into char(11) for an export. I need to get figures like 11.240000 to look like 00000001124.
Cheers
Matt

Sorry forgot to mention, the figures will vary so you may get 100.290000 or 1000.290000 which would need to look like 00000010029 and 00000100029

UNION ALL SELECT 100.290000

UNION ALL SELECT 1000.290000

) d
