decimal in VTL

Hi 

My question is how VTL use decimal. I just input
#set($foo = 6.1)
in app_example1\example.vm, while compile, it shows "Encountered: "1" (49), after : "."", so how to assign a decimal to a variable in VTL?

Thank
Charley

You can't do Floats...only Integers. If you want to be able to do floats,
stick a helper object into the context.
