I ran the following code on 2000, but in 2005 (Management Studio) the formatting for the decimal numbers is way off. Any ideas how to change this? I looked everywhere. Thanks.

-- Same code generated different formatting
declare @test decimal(10,2)
select @test = 100

select convert(int,@test),
@test



SQL 2005 - Mangement Studio

----------- ---------------------------------------
100 100.00


SQL 2000 - Query Analyzer

----------- ------------
100 100.00

The answers are the same, the length of the formatted output is different (about 40 characters in 2005 v.s. 11 in 2000).

It messes up a report that runs on both environments.
