OK folks, this column is a number(9,2). Can anybody explain how to make this happen? I've tried stuff like (to_number('-.00') -0.01 / 4 0 - 0.00500001 I can't make it happen. Any ideas? I'm thinking I'm hearing the voice of Rod Serling right about now. select amt from incident_detail where rowid in (select rowid from ftladm.incident_detail where to_char(amt) = '-.00') SQL> / AMT ---------- -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 -.00 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
