Have you tried to dump the column? See the example below (due to my language
settings the decimal point is showing up as a comma.)
SQL> describe t
Nom NULL ? Type
------------------- -------- -------------
N NUMBER(9,2)
SQL> column n_dump format a40
SQL> select n, dump (n) as n_dump from t ;
N N_DUMP
--------- ----------------------------------------
-,02 Typ=2 Len=3: 63,99,102
-,01 Typ=2 Len=3: 63,100,102
0 Typ=2 Len=1: 128
,01 Typ=2 Len=2: 192,2
,02 Typ=2 Len=2: 192,3
