Last few digits get round off automatically in a 19-digit number in matrix

For X field the value shown in a matrix is 320,809,350,774,508,000.0 whereas the value in the Postgres database appears to be 3208093507745086792.456.

For another Y field the value shown in a matrix is 3,208,093,507,175,300,000.0 whereas the value in the Postgres database appears to be 
3208093507175299731.203.

 

Although a field Z with 17 digit number doesn't get automatically rounded up and displays exact value

The values should not get rounded up automatically.Please let me know if there's a solution for this.

Hi @mohit_K 

What is your data type ?

Decimal Number- The largest precision that can be represented in a Decimal Number type is 15 digits long. The decimal separator can occur anywhere in the number.

Fixed Decimal Number – Has a fixed location for the decimal separator. The decimal separator always has four digits to its right and allows for 19 digits of significance.
