Number format (trailing zeros)

JackKMay 29 2011 — edited May 30 2011
Hi,
I'm confused with number formats. Please someone to explain me that.
I thought that:
SELECT to_char(1230, '9,999.99') AS frm FROM dual;
would result in 
FRM
-----
1,230
but the result is
FRM
--------
1,230.00
Why are the trailing zeros there? The format is not '9,999.00'.
