signed float value in DDL - corrupts the WSDL

[ku...@wipro.com]

Hi,
 
we have the following field in DDL, and we use SOAP/Apache Axis2 for our project to devleop a web based applciation.
 
DDL isin COBOL 
  Amount  T999999V99 
 
its mapped to WSDL 
 
- <http://10.116.194.32:9080/screenpoc/pway-wsdl/SoapPW_TC02.wsdl#>  <xsd:complexType name="detail_line_s1">
- <http://10.116.194.32:9080/screenpoc/pway-wsdl/SoapPW_TC02.wsdl#>  <xsd:sequence>
- <http://10.116.194.32:9080/screenpoc/pway-wsdl/SoapPW_TC02.wsdl#>  <xsd:element name="amount" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1">
- <http://10.116.194.32:9080/screenpoc/pway-wsdl/SoapPW_TC02.wsdl#>  <xsd:simpleType>
- <http://10.116.194.32:9080/screenpoc/pway-wsdl/SoapPW_TC02.wsdl#>  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
  <xsd:maxLength value="10" /> 
  </xsd:restriction>
  </xsd:simpleType>
  </xsd:element>
 
 
 
when the server sends a negatvie value(3.15) in the amount filed to the client html page. i am getting the following error:
 
 

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://10.116.194.32:9080/screenpoc/TC02.pway'. ... 

<dtl_ref_amt>3.1
 
Please let me know if any of you have any inputs. Basically It will be of great help 
if any of you can suggest me, how a signed float should be represented in DDL, and in SDL.
Thanks in advance
Kumaresh
