Hi all,

I have the following :

select TO_NUMBER(MYSTRING ) FROM(

select to_char(sysdate - (sysdate-14.5232)) as MYSTRING from DUAL)

TO_NUMBER(MYSTRING)

-------------------

14,5231944

But I want to have only :

TO_NUMBER(MYSTRING)

-------------------

14,52

Then :

select TO_NUMBER(MYSTRING , '99.99') FROM(

select to_char(sysdate - (sysdate-14.5232)) as MYSTRING from DUAL)

01722. 00000 - "invalid number"

What's wrong ?

Thank you.
