This is kind of a silly picky question, but I am not sure how to get the number format to be consistent in one of my applications. I have an application that stores numerical data in a DB2/400 database in a Decimal field. I have a page which displays a calculation as a BigDecimal from the data in that column. The numberformat is set to "0.##" The result I expect is if the data is 0 to display 0, if it is 2 to display 2 and if it is 2.3333 to display 2.33. What I get is 0 for 0 , 2.33 for 2.3333, and the part that is wrong is 2.00 for 2. I don't want to display any zeros after the decimal point. If I enter new data it works correctly until the application reloads that data from the database. For whatever reason if the data is loaded from the database it thinks that the 0's after the decimal are significant, how do I get the formatter to ignore them and only display the decimal if it is not 0?
