<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Tanya: You might want to try using an OGR output format (<a href="https://mapserver.org/output/ogr_output.html#ogr-output">https://mapserver.org/output/ogr_output.html#ogr-output</a>). It supports GML as well and should provide a little
more control and does respect the precision metadata.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a MapServer WMS that is returning GML query results, and all works well except that non-integer numeric fields are returning in scientific notation, eg.:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I see there is a metadata setting "<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">gml_[item name]_precision</span></strong>" [1] that should allow specifying precision of these fields, but it seems it is not intended for GML output.
Is this correct?<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example I tried setting this for the SIZE field:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there another way that I can accomplish better output from this service? The source data format is a shapefile, and unlikely to change in this case.<o:p></o:p></p>
