I am trying to get negative numbers to display as (1,23)
the current format is as follows... - '9G990D00', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '',.''
If I edit 9G990D00 to (9G990D00) would that do it?

The dirty thoughts going in my head right now yield - select replace (replace (to_char('-5000.8','9999.99PR'), '<', '('), '>', ')') from dual

That worked nicely. Thanks very much! :)
Try this as well: -
-
SELECT '('||TO_CHAR(-5000.8 * -1,'9999.99')||')' FROM dual
-

That would work only for negative numbers?

Yap. the OP wanted to display the negative numbers in that particular format.
Btw, the best way would be: -
-
SELECT '('||TO_CHAR(ABS(-5800.0),'9999.99')||')' from dual
-

-
-
SELECT '('||TO_CHAR(ABS(-5800.0),'9999.99')||')' from dual

Not unless they have both negative and positive numbers and want to format their negative numbers that way.
