The following query give you the easiest way to format the Decimal Number to string:
| Code: |
with input (number) as
(select -1123167890.4327 from sysibm.sysdummy1
)
,
transform_1 (num, part, rem, trans, fract, k ) as
(select number, int(0), int(abs(number)), varchar('', 150),
abs(number) - int(abs(number)), 12
from input where abs(number) >= 1000
union all
select
number, int(rem / power(10, k - 3)) , mod(rem, power(10, k - 3)),
strip(case when int(rem / power(10, k - 3)) = 0 and trans <= ' ' then ''
when int(rem / power(10, k - 3)) > 0 and trans <= ' ' then
case when number < 0 then '-' else '' end
|| strip(digits(int(rem / power(10, k - 3))), l, '0')
else trans || ',' || substr(digits(int(rem / power(10, k - 3))), 8, 3)
end
|| case when k - 3 = 0 and fract > 0 then strip(varchar(fract), l, '0') else '' end, l, '0')
, fract, k - 3
from transform_1, input
where k - 3 >= 0 and abs(number) >= 1000
union all
select number, int(0), int(0), varchar(number), number, 0
from input
where abs(number) < 1000
)
select num "Input",
trans "Result"
from transform_1 tr where k = 0 |

DB2 V9 supports
VARCHAR_FORMAT ( decimal-floating-point-expression [, format-string] ).
All users of V9 can use my query for learning what inside.
Any others, which doesn't have V9, yet, can make UDF based on this query.
