Has anyone had problems loosing precision after transforming a message using
Xalan??
Problem: I have content stored in an element as follows <aNumber>12345.12345</aNumber> I format the content in this element for output as follows ( note: length 10 with 0 padding ) <xsl:value-of select="format-number(number*100000,'0000000000')"/> On the ouput I get 1234512344, which is off by .00001. I need the exact value on the source document. I tried a substring-before and substring-after the the decimal separator '.', then concatenated the total and fractional parts, then formatted as I have shown above, and I got the same thing. I know its loosing precision when the string is changed to a number, but the funny thing is, if a string less than the full length ( 10 in this case ) of the field is passed, all is well. Example <number>1234.12345</number> ----> 01234.12345 ( which makes me happy ) Does anyone know what approach I can use here to solve this problem? Thanking you in advance Garvin _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
