If you are reading this from a file or converting from a string, just declare your data type a float and you are good to go.

In that case, you should have no problems. The notation in the e-exponent form is just when you display the data.

Any way other than
automatically? Something wrong with what was posted? Have you
tried it and then checked in SQL Server
outside of DataStage?

ketanshah123 - have you actually looked at the manual? In the functions appendix of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide there are CAST functions which you can use.
