Hi Sughesh,

just apply a format:

     cast(cast(col1 as format 'Z(18)') as char(18))

But be careful, a DEC(18,0) needs 19 characters as there might be negative values:

     cast(cast(col1 as format '-(19)') as char(19))

Both will left align the digits with trailing blanks.

If you need leading blanks/right aligned you need to switch to Teradata style casts:

     col1 (format '-(19)') (char(19))
