    (Sorry if this is for SQL 2000 only, It seems that I cannot delete)

    Hi,

    I am trying to write a function converting any float to varchar(50) without lossing any disgits:

    (1) Select col1_float, float_to_vc50(col1_float) from my table

    (2) Sample column data:

    3886.0559

    112.097

    66.8879434336119

    9999999.1234567890123456789012345678901

    ( note that the total number of digits for float is 38)

    I can try out your function on my data

    I think the key problem is declaration demical(m,n) cannot take variables

    so we stuck with fix precision and no quick way to adjust.

    Thanks

    Jack
