Cast the numeric to character by wrapping the numeric with right(digits(<numeric user),5).

Subject: SQL joining with unlike types?
I need to cross-reference two PFs. One gives territory and user number;
the other gives user number and first and last names.
The problem is that in one of the two files, the user number is a
5-character string (either digits or blank), while in the other, it's an
11-digit zoned decimal.
If I simply try "select terr, sman, first, last from salesp join cont on
sman = cid," I get "Selection error involving field *N."
Is there a way I can do this in SQL?
