MORE INFORMATION

You can use either of the following methods to work round this problem:

Change the XML element/attribute data type to "Real (r4)" or "Double Real (r8)", if you know in advance that the element/attribute contains decimal numbers.
Configure the Tracking Fields property on the document definition or channel to track elements/attributes as "Real" instead of "Integer".
