FieldAsFloat translates to the underlying call to SqlDB as follows

function TtiQueryDataset.GetFieldAsFloat(const AName: string): extended;
begin
  Result := FDataset.FieldByName(AName).AsFloat;
end;



Creating a simple test application as follows works fine on Linux and
Windows... So it doesn't seem to be a Format() issue.

=====================
var
  s: single;
  t: string;
begin
  s := 14.00;
  writeln('AValue = ', s);
  t := Format('%.2f', [s]);
  writeln('Formatted Avalue = ', t);
  writeln('---');
end.
======================
