Hi,

This is regarding with Oracle graphics builder. i need to show the x and y label in chart as 10,12,14 and there is a chance to get decimal numbers like, .0000043,.0000021 and .000123 etc.
i have given number format like, 99.99999 and it shows 12.00000 if 12, 10.00000 if 10. i want to show decimals, only if it has.

Please Help me,
Thanks,
Dhamayanthi K

I have not worked with Graphics for years. But if I remember correctly, duplicate the value in to a character field and put all the zeroes in there that you like.

Can you mark the axes with a field different to that used for the data?

Use a to_char(num_fld,'99.000000') ... I believe that this format will give you the trailing zeroes that you desire.

Actually, i have the list of values:
they are,

10,12,14.....
.000002,.000004,.000006.....

i have given format as 99.999999.

for former, graphics builder shows,
as 10.000000,12.000000 and etc.
for later, it shows
as .000001,.000004,.000006.
later is okay. but former is very much odd to see.

can u give soln to that?

dhamayanthi,

create a new dummy field for display purpose only and do like this:

IF your_actual_field < .01 THEN
your_display_field := your_actual_field;
ELSE
your_display_field := to_char(:your_actual_field,'99.99') ;
END IF;
