The single field scaled decimal as defined in FAST 1.0 is deprecated. The most 
interoperable way of specifying a decimal number is by using the decimal type 
of FAST 1.1. In the template you'd specify

<decimal name="MyField"/>

The decimal type in FAST 1.1 is encoded as two sbit entities, the exponent 
followed by the mantissa.
