Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi

am getting this error and the output value gets rounded off to 120994150.00

Code:

 
printf  "%-0.2f"

printf: 12099415.79 not completely converted

Basically i need to get the value printed with
Right justified, zero filled, 2 decimal places like 999999999999999.99

Can you post sample output for that number - 12099415.79? While using code tags please, so we can see the alignment...

Actual input value : 12099415.79

Error message i get is : printf: 12099415.79 not completely converted

i used

Code:

 
printf "%-1s%-2s%-4s%-30s%-15s%-12s%-15s%-14s%-06d%-0.2f" "0" $H1 $H2 $F_D $S_S $D_P $S_P $F_L $T_R $CT

Output is 120994150.00

If this printf part of the AWK code?

No the printf is just a standlone to print

am passing this value to printf as a variable value 12099415.79

What does it say before you run printf:

Code:

echo "$CT"

Also what shell are you using? What operating system?

echo $CT gives me 12099415.79

AM using sun Solaris 5.9 and KSH shell
