SQL is detecting that the following string ISNUMERIC:
‘07213E71’
I believe this is because the ‘E’ is being classed as a mathmatical symbol.
However, I need to ensure that only values which are whole integers are returned as True.
How can I do this?
07213E71is a floating number 7213 with 71 zerosYou can use this
ISNUMERIC(myValue + '.0e0')to test for whole integers. Slightly cryptic but works.Another test is the double negative
myValue NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%'which allows only digits 0 to 9.ISNUMERIC has other issues in that these all return 1:
+,-,
