javascript - Scientific Notation returned using getItemValueDouble -

i have ssjs function below lines of code keeps returning value of field 'day' in scientific notation. have tried using bigdecimal in addition below no difference. other questions on , other blogs scientific notation decimal have examples java have taken best attempt @ how examples should interpreted ssjs.

value stored in document accessed exportdoc in code below using field name
field name: day
data type: number
data length: 8 bytes
seq num: 1
dup item id: 0
field flags: summary

-37.5

    exportdoc.getitemvaluedouble('day');     returned value: -3.75e1      var dform:java.text.decimalformat = new java.text.decimalformat("0.##");     var hrs:string = dform.format(exportdoc.getitemvaluedouble('day'));     //using hrs:double returns same value     returned value: -3.75e1      var hrs:string = dform.parse(@text(exportdoc.getitemvaluedouble('day')));     //using hrs:double returns same value     returned value: -3.75e1      var hrs = number(exportdoc.getitemvaluedouble('day'));     returned value: -3.75e1 

if multiply exportdoc.getitemvaluedouble('day') 10 -375, if divide 10 still -3.75e1, , if use exportdoc.getitemvalueinteger('day') -38.

this doesn't occur whole negative numbers -2, -108, etc. or positive numbers if not whole number.

any appreciated causing issues when importing our hris system.

are sure haven't set kind of converter?

i pulled test page it's not happening here:

<xp:panel id="upperpanel">     <xp:label value="number field (shows value stored in number field): "         id="label1"></xp:label>     <xp:inputtext id="inputtext1" value="#{document1.subnum}">         <xp:this.converter>             <xp:convertnumber type="number"></xp:convertnumber>         </xp:this.converter>     </xp:inputtext> </xp:panel> <xp:panel id="lowerpanel">     <xp:label id="label2"         value="calculated number (computes value using .getitemvaluedouble()): ">     </xp:label>     <xp:text escape="true" id="computedfield1">         <xp:this.value><![cdata[#{javascript:currentdocument.getitemvaluedouble("subnum")}]]>         </xp:this.value>         <xp:this.converter>             <xp:convertnumber type="number"></xp:convertnumber>         </xp:this.converter>     </xp:text> </xp:panel> 

looks then:

i tried setting notes form's field property "scientific", (of course) doesn't have influence on xpages.

probably i'm not getting you're trying do?
