Michael Neale commented on JBRULES-435:
---------------------------------------

hmmm... yes. A few ways to solve this.

The immediate workaround is to make it text in the spreadsheet cell, not a number, then it should come out verbatim.

Otherwise we can either 
a) make the DRL support scientific notation
b) make the XLS parser convert it to long notation form.

> When a condition column in a decision table contains values like 25000000, this is compiled using the SpreadsheetCompiler into 2.5E7 in the DRL. However, the DRL parser/compiler cannot cope with this notation and exists with a unexpected token "E7" error message.
