SOrry, But from where I see is IMPOSSIBLE. "+" sign "E" char and "."

The "E" indicates either "Engineering Notation" or "Scientific Notation". The "E+11" means "Times 10 to the 11th power". It won't fit into an INTEGER, but it will fit into a BIGINT and conversion is simple...

SELECT CAST(3.31E+11 AS BIGINT)

... etc, etc, etc.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
