Subject: Column format


I was showing one of our developers how to format a column for a report.
They had a query:

select quoted price - quoted price * .10 as discounted_price from
order_line

and I said to add the line

Column discounted_price format $99999.99

So they asked if there was a way to embed the format in the select
criteria. I've never done that so I ask all of you if anyone has
embedded the format in the select statement.

ciao,
Brian
