I have a sp that receive a rango of float values,and I need to convert this values to a varchar(20).

I am trying the next but I got a strange result.

@intNoTarjIni = 121456790
set @strTarjeta=cast(@intNoTarjIni as varchar(20))
returns: 1.21457e+008

set @strTarjeta=convert( varchar(20),@intNoTarjIni)
returns:1.21457e+008

How can I convert sucessfully a float to varchar?

-- following code should work


DECLARE @intNoTarjIni float
       ,@strTarjeta varchar(20)

SELECT @intNoTarjIni = 121456790
   SET @strTarjeta=str(@intNoTarjIni)

SELECT @strTarjeta
