             Summary: textNumberPattern not being used for xs:int ?
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2158
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2158
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Back End
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Michael Beckerle
             Fix For: 2.4.0


Look at the DFDLSchemas/MagVar project.

In that schema, which is siimple fixed-length data, there are columns of integers (xs:int) and of floats.

The textNumberPattern *was* "###0.0###;-###0.0###".

When I tested this for portability with IBM DFDL, it errored because the xs:int elements were unparsing as 0.0, 1.0, not just 0, or 1.  One of the integer columns is only 2 characters wide, so even 0.0 doesn't fit and was giving a runtime error.

So I had to introduce a separate named DFDL format so that the integer elements and the float elements could have different textNumberPattern values, because the integers need "###0.###;-###0.###", the floats need the pattern above to work right.

So now it works portably.

But.... why didn't Daffodil unparse the integers as 0.0, 1.0, and so forth the way IBM DFDL did? It seems Daffodil is somehow not using the textNumberPattern for these integers.

And that seems like a bug to me.
