Hi,
    I use a VariantFormatter, myFormatter,  with pattern "###" to format
a Variant of BigDecimal type.  This Variant has a length of 22 (e.g.
9999999999999999999999).
    The problem is:
    The non-formatted value of the Variant is
"9999999999999999999999999" (print by
bigDecimalVariant.getBigDecimal()).
    But the formatted value becomes "9999999999999999000000" (print by
myFormatter.format(bigDecimalVariant));

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!

Keith.....
