Re: sql select without editing numbers

Hi Jim

Very eeeeenterrrresting! I hadn't tried STRSQL, just did, and with the normal controls, I see that it includes the thousands separator - and there does not seem to be a way to change it in the session attributes

I did not remember this. Wow!

I might proffer the idea of using RSS - at least what I saw today, it does not put in the commas. And we can save the results to various formats, and in this case, at least, even when saving to an XLSX, no commas.

*Regards*

Vern,
It's just best to assume that perhaps you are using a different tool than
Jim does, or that his numerics are defined slightly different (edit code
perhaps) or some such thing.
I'd go with Charles suggestion.

Hi Jim

I have to ask what tool you are using to run the SELECT - I don't
usually see commas when the columns are numeric. Here're the results for
1 row of QIWS/QCUSTCDT -

CUSNUM LSTNAM INIT STREET CITY STATE ZIPCOD CDTLMT CHGCOD
BALDUE CDTDUE
938485 Johnson J A 3 Alpine Way Helen GA 30545
9999 2 3987.5 33.5


CUSNUM, ZIPCOD, CDTLMT, and BALDUE are all Numeric

I'm sure its a simple thing, but i need the Order column numbers to

not

have commas (user requests like 2450245). DDS defined tables, packed

Google full of hacks that db2 doesn't do.

CUST TRAN_CODE ORDER Ref
ESW01 25 2,450,245 Widgets
ESW01 25 2,453,785 Bolts

when i use varchar_format it pads spaces to the right of column and

seems to be ignored
