Hi Debi,
I ran your script on my system and did not have the rounding problem (sqlplus 
8.1.7.0.0 running on W2K against an 8.1.7.3.0 database on Solaris).

Maybe you can try this query instead:

select t.tablespace_name
, t.total_bytes
, u.used_bytes
, t.total_bytes-u.used_bytes space_left
from (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes) total_bytes
      from dba_data_files
      group by tablespace_name) t
   , (select tablespace_name, sum(bytes) used_bytes
      from dba_extents
      group by tablespace_name) u
where t.tablespace_name=u.tablespace_name
and t.tablespace_name=&1

Why is my difference rounded:

'Checking space left in data_ts:'

          TOTAL_BYTES 

-------------------- 

       18,880,659,456 


           USED_BYTES 

-------------------- 

       17,796,554,752 

          Space 
Left
-------------------- 

        1,000,000,000 


Here's my script:

set heading on verify off
col total_bytes format 999,999,999,999,999 new_value tbytes
col tbytes format 999,999,999,999,999
col used_bytes format 999,999,999,999,999 new_value ubytes
col ubytes format 999,999,999,999,999
col space_left format 999,999,999,999,999 head 'Space Left'

spool space_left
prompt
prompt 'Checking space left in &1:'
prompt
select sum(t.bytes) total_bytes
from dba_data_files t
where t.tablespace_name = upper('&&1')
/
select sum(u.bytes) used_bytes
from dba_extents u
where u.tablespace_name = upper('&&1')
/
select (&&tbytes) - (&&ubytes) space_left
from dual
/

Thanks,

Debi
