Hello monks.. I connect to a database through this script to pull out the values from the database and write them to a text file. The database looks like this: 
BA    1/1/2005    12/31/2999    11.3700000000000016
BO    1/1/2005    12/31/2999    7.5400000000000000
EQ    1/1/2005    12/31/2999    12.0700000000000000
FI    1/1/2005    12/31/2999    3.0000000000000000
MO    1/1/2005    12/31/2999    3.8000000000000000
SP    1/1/2005    12/31/2999    12.9900000000000000

My script looks like: 
use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;
use POSIX qw(strftime);

my $currSysDate =strftime ("%m/%d/%Y", localtime);
my $currYear =strftime("%Y", localtime);
my $dbh;
my $dsn = "dbi:Oracle:hod3";
my $user = 'dbo';
my $password = 'dbo';
my $mffundclass;
my $mfstartdate;
my $mfenddate;
my $mfror;
my $mdstartdate;
my $mdenddate;
my $mddiscountrate;

if($currSysDate eq "06/29/$currYear"){
    
    open ROR, ">>RORTableValues_Nav.txt" or die "Error in opening RORT
+ableValues_Nav.txt";

    open DISCOUNT, ">>DiscountRateTableValues_Nav.txt" or die "Error i
+n opening DiscountRateTableValues_Nav.txt";
    printf ROR ("MF_FUND_CLASS \t MF_START_DATE \t MF_END_DATE \t MF_R
+OR \n");
    printf DISCOUNT ("MD_START_DATE \t MD_END_DATE \t MD_DISCOUNT_RATE
+ \n");
    
    $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password, {PrintError => 1, Rais
+eError => 1}) or die ("Can't execute statement: $DBI::errstr\n");
    
    my $sql = qq{select * from T_LIMF_MRD_FUND_ROR};
    my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
    $sth->execute();
    $sth->bind_columns(\$mffundclass,\$mfstartdate,\$mfenddate,\$mfror
+);
    while ($sth->fetch()){
        print "$mffundclass \t $mfstartdate \t $mfenddate \t $mfror \n
+";
        printf ROR "$mffundclass \t $mfstartdate \t $mfenddate \t $mfr
+or \n";
    };
    $sth->finish();
    
    my $sql1 = qq{select * from T_LIMD_MRD_DISCOUNT_RATE};
    my $sth1 = $dbh->prepare($sql1);
    $sth1->execute();
    $sth1->bind_columns(\$mdstartdate,\$mdenddate,\$mddiscountrate);
    while ($sth1->fetch()){
        printf DISCOUNT "$mdstartdate \t $mdenddate \t $mddiscountrate

    };
    $sth1->finish();
    
    $dbh->disconnect();

Now this script instead of giving the 4th column exactly as it is rounds of the value and returns the rounded value. What changes do I need to make to get the exact values. Thanks Neshat
