Answer Posted / mohammad islam
The format is to_char('10','0,999.99')
or to_char(10,'0,999.99')
What is the meaning of it? It means 10 has to be 4 digit
long number with comma after the first digit and 2 digit
decimal places
like 0,010.00
But for to_char('10','0999.99'), the result would be
0010.00 because 4 digit before the decimal place with no
comma and 2 digit after the decimal place
And for TO_CHAR(1230,'00,999.99'), the result is
01,230.00(as you see 5 digit before decimal and 2 digit
after decimal and comma after 2 digit.
I hope it will clear everything
Thanks,
Mohammad Islam
