We had a decimal value in text format in local!value variable as below

But converting it to decimal is rounding off the value as below

But I want the exact value in decimal data type as we need to send this value to an external system that doesnot accept text format. Is ther any way that I can sent exact value in decimal format without rounding it.

    This is just the way Appian renders this on screen. Your actual value stays untouched.

    you can go for fixed function if your intention is to change decimal again to string. It will give you expected result.
