I believe you'll want to rpad your return value.

select rpad(26.5,5,0) from dual

returns

26.50

or format it in SQL*Plus.

Subject:        select question

I have a select statement that is pulling a field called total, which represents a total value to charge a persons account. The total column in the db has the parameters Number(10,2) but when I pull the data out of the db the value for the total 26.50 looks like this 26.5. Is there away to force the data being pulled out to maintain the format 26.50?
