Remove decimal places from varchar(32) result
I'm using SQL and windows batch script to download inventory from our POS and then upload it to a 3rd party platform. The file is successfully downloading and uploading, but the 3rd party platform is quite finicky on formatting. Specifically, it won't accept decimal place for the column titled "Quantity".
I've searched and tried various different approaches but can't seem to find one that works. The tricky aspect to this sql is that i had to use a join in order to create a title row and I'm using the format varchar(32) I've posted my sql below, any suggestions?
set nocount ON
SELECT CAST('sku' as VARCHAR(32)) AS sku,
CAST('quantity' as VARCHAR(32)) AS quantity
UNION
SELECT CAST(IM_BARCOD.BARCOD AS
VARCHAR(32)) as sku, case when
IM_INV.QTY_AVAIL > 0 then
CAST(IM_INV.QTY_AVAIL AS VARCHAR(32)) else
CAST(0 as VARCHAR(32)) END as quantity
FROM IM_BARCOD INNER JOIN IM_INV ON
IM_INV.ITEM_NO = IM_BARCOD.ITEM_NO INNER
JOIN IM_PRC ON IM_INV.ITEM_NO =
IM_PRC.ITEM_NO INNER JOIN
IM_ITEM ON IM_INV.ITEM_NO = IM_ITEM.ITEM_NO
UNION
SELECT CAST(IM_BARCOD.BARCOD AS
VARCHAR(32)) as sku, case when
IM_INV_CELL.QTY_AVAIL > 0 then
CAST(IM_INV_CELL.QTY_AVAIL AS VARCHAR(32))
else CAST (0 as VARCHAR (32)) END as
quantity FROM IM_BARCOD INNER JOIN IM_PRC
ON IM_BARCOD.ITEM_NO = IM_PRC.ITEM_NO INNER
JOIN IM_INV_CELL ON IM_BARCOD.ITEM_NO =
IM_INV_CELL.ITEM_NO AND
IM_INV_CELL.DIM_1_UPR=IM_BARCOD.DIM_1_UPR
AND IM_INV_CELL.DIM_2_UPR =
IM_BARCOD.DIM_2_UPR AND
IM_INV_CELL.DIM_3_UPR =IM_BARCOD.DIM_3_UPR
INNER JOIN
IM_ITEM ON IM_BARCOD.ITEM_NO =
IM_ITEM.ITEM_NO

Cast it to an integer before casting to a varchar in your SQL statement.
