Why is it obvious that you're expecting a float and not a decimal in that case?
Because if you search the list archives you'll see that, in the short term at least, I'm not in favour of changing the default floating point type from binary floats to decimal floats *wink*
I only asked because earlier in the same post you said you wanted 7981m to be decimal. Given that, I wouldn't have guessed you wanted 1.1K to *not* be decimal.
