Question

I am using the LIST function to create a ‘;’ delimited list of values. The type is numeric (19,2). For some reason the precision appears to be ignored when using the list function. When performing a simple select on this column the values look good, ie ‘12.00’. However, if I use a LIST() my results are of format ‘12.000000’

This is my LIST usage:

LIST(case when tblWOService.PricePerVehicle is null then ' ' else CONVERT(decimal(19,2),tblWOService.PricePerVehicle end,';') 

The CONVERT does not change the result. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Have you tried explicitly converting your empty string?

LIST(     case when tblWOService.PricePerVehicle is null then CONVERT(decimal(19,2),' ')         else CONVERT(decimal(19,2),tblWOService.PricePerVehicle) end,';' ) 

I’ve run into a similar datatype issue with CASE statements in T-SQL.
