Format money value as padded string

Ok my last formatting question.

How can I insert a money value as a padded string in another table?

example $1.25 gets inserted to another table as 00000125

I want 8 total characters and no decimal

another example would be 4,225.99 becomes 00422599

can this be done?

thank you!!declare @.m money
set @.m = $1.25

select @.m, RIGHT(REPLICATE('0',8) +
convert(varchar(8),convert(int,@.m*100)),8)

I had a similar project. I did this and it works great:

REPLACE(REPLACE(CONVERT(char(8), @.m), '.', ''), ' ', '0')

-Utah|||thanks that worked great.

any idea why this doesn't work:

REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(4),SUM(tblLines.fldUnits)),' ','0')

it just won't seem to put the zero in...very strange

i get this for 15: '15 '|||(paulmac106@.gmail.com) writes:

Good question. Seems like the reailing spaces are stripped when the
string is passed to replace(). Probably, because there is a conversion
to varchar, but trailing spaces should be retained, as long as the
setting ANSI_PADDING is in effect.

It looks like a bug to me.

RIGHT('0000'+REPLACE(SUM(tblLines.fldUnits), ' ', '0'), 4)

results in 0015 where SUM(tblLines.fldUnits)=15|||Erland Sommarskog (esquel@.sommarskog.se) writes:

For what it's worth, I submitted
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLSe...edbackID=259840
But since it works this way in SQL 2000, I would not really expect
any fix. It could break existing code.

I've submitted a workaround to this Feedback item. If you
concatenate the empty string '' to the CHAR value before
REPLACE is applied, the hidden conversion to VARCHAR
retains the trailing blanks.

declare @.t char(6)
set @.t = 'A'
select
replace(@.t,space(1),'*'),
replace(@.t+'',space(1),'*')
