problem with SQL query manager

I was using query manager to create a quick inventory cost report for selected vendors. Our material is stored in feet and inches and a cost per foot. I divided inches by 12, added to feet and multiplied by cost per foot. This was a created expression using the prompts in query manager
The result field was 32 positions long. While I could read the detail data, the total line was too long to display. (maybe it would have printed, I did not try).

So I tried rounding the expression and truncating the expression. Result was the same.

Can anyone tell me how to define the length of an expression in query manager?


Here are some screen shots.
