TRUNC (Numbers)

Truncates numbers to a specific digit. You can also use TRUNC to truncate dates.

Syntax

TRUNC( numeric_value [, precision] )

Argument	Required/ Optional	Description
numeric_value	Required	Numeric datatype. Passes the values you want to truncate. You can enter any valid expression that evaluates to a Numeric datatype.
precision	Optional	Can be a positive or negative integer. You can enter any valid expression that evaluates to an integer. The integer specifies the number of digits to truncate.

If precision
is a positive integer, TRUNC returns numeric_value
with the number of decimal places specified by precision
. If precision
is a negative integer, TRUNC changes the specified digits to the left of the decimal point to zeros. If you omit the precision
argument, TRUNC truncates the decimal portion of numeric_value
and returns an integer.

If you pass a decimal precision
value,

Data Integration

rounds numeric_value
to the nearest integer before evaluating the expression.
