Hi.
I have a need to process a xml-document containing a node that, at most,
can contain 18 digits (16 integer and 2 fraction). What I have found
however is that the last decimal will be corrupted (set to zero) and I
have a suspicion that this is because the internal representation is a
double am I right?
Yes. The only numeric type in XPath/XSLT 1.0 is an IEEE 754 double:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116/#numbers
Primarily I need to edit it but also use it as input in a sum function
which in turn will also result in an edit (of the result).
The question therefore is: Does anybody have an idea of how to process
such a large number with Xalan?
You would need to write extension functions to process larger numbers
and create a new type that supports them.
