I have a column SUBAMOUNT where the value is converted to text 0000008917'. When the file is received I need to convert it to decimal (0000008917 converted to 89.17. I tried to use the CAST TSQL command, but it is giving me a result of 8917.00, which is incorrect.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
