You haven't told us how you are transferring the data, but have you tried
=TEXT(A2,"#.000") ?

When I transfer a spreadsheet to the I-Series I am dropoing the zeros to
the
right of the decimal point. Exmaple 17200000123.000 will only have
1720000123 in the file created on the AS400. How do I prevent this?
