 Hi John,
you didn't say with which xslt processor you got this funny result.
Report it as a bug and/or use some other one.
Regards,
Markus

Betreff: format-number abd numerical truncation
Hi All,
[2 part problem]
We've encountered a problem with format-number where-by the value part
actually changes according to the precision.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AR_ITEMS elem="4">
<EVENTS elem="1">
<TOTAL elem="826">
<AMOUNT>0.00000073173</AMOUNT>
</TOTAL>
</EVENTS>
<EVENTS elem="2">
<TOTAL elem="826">
<AMOUNT>0.0000073173</AMOUNT>
</TOTAL>
</EVENTS>
<EVENTS elem="3">
<TOTAL elem="826">
<AMOUNT>0.000073173</AMOUNT>
</TOTAL>
</EVENTS>
<EVENTS elem="4">
<TOTAL elem="826">
<AMOUNT>0.73173</AMOUNT>
</TOTAL>
</EVENTS>
<EVENTS elem="5">
<TOTAL elem="826">
<AMOUNT>0.073173</AMOUNT>
</TOTAL>
</EVENTS>
<EVENTS elem="6">
<TOTAL elem="826">
<AMOUNT>0.00073173</AMOUNT>
</TOTAL>
</EVENTS>
</AR_ITEMS>
XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<!-- Main Driver Template -->
<xsl:decimal-format zero-digit="0" decimal-separator="." name="df"
grouping-separator="," per-mille="," pattern-separator=";">
</xsl:decimal-format>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"></xsl:strip-space>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<table bgcolor="#cfcfcf" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2"
border="1">
<tbody>
<xsl:for-each select="//EVENTS">
<tr>
<TD align="right">
<FONT size="3">
<xsl:if test="TOTAL[@elem = 826]">
<xsl:value-of
select="format-number(TOTAL/AMOUNT,'0.0000')"/>
</xsl:if>
</FONT>
</TD>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Resulting HTML:
0.0000
0.0000
0.1000
0.7317
0.7320
0.7000
...we never fixed this so we though that we'd correct the rounding in the
source program. This worked OK, as long as we had a full complement of
digits after the decimal point. When we have a number with less, say 0.7320,
it is being displayed at 0.732
Anybody ever comes across either of these problems and resolved them or
found them to be persistent bugs?
