Hi:

I'm trying to use SQL to generate a formatted
report. The "to_char(numeric,'FM9,999,999,999.99')"
function works when I use it format numbers with
decimal points and appropriate commas.

However my problem is when I encounter a row has a
zero for one its column. It displays "0.", I tried
using with other formatting options but it does not
display zero the way I like ( "0" or "0.0").

Is there a format specifier in the to_char function
that it will display 0 as "0" or "0.0"?

thanks,

ludwig.
