Insert text in a specified format as number(x,y)

Hi all,

Im trying to insert a number specified by the format for ex. S999.99, but the original text is of the form S99999, is there any way i can insert the data which will store it in the DB with the datatype as Number(5,2), the decimal is not present in the supplied value(through PreparedStatement) but needs to be put while inserting into the DB.

P.S.- 'S' in S999.99 signifies the sign(+/-).

Perhaps I am missing something; but why won't this work?

Code:

  TO_NUMBER('S99999') / 100;
