Question & Answer


Question

I have a simple orchestration pulling data from a SalesForce object. The column that I am pulling is a numeric data type defined in SFDC as Number (18,0).  One record has a value in it of 10,000,000 (10 Million).  When the data is exported, it returns 1.0E7 (Scientific notation for 10 million).  Causing data issues in the destination system as it is expecting the data to be 10,000,000.
Why is this happening?
