$TRUNC

The $TRUNC function returns a numeric expression truncated to a specified number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

If the value specified by n is positive and longer than the digits after the decimal point, 0 is added after the fraction digits.

If the value specified by n is negative and larger than or equal to the digits before the decimal point, 0 is returned.

When a numeric expression is truncated, the trailing digits are simply dropped off. The return value is not rounded in any way.
