Symptoms

When running DLOUT, the SFA_COD_OUT step creates the file with the <DIRECTLOANATTENDANCECOST> Tag containing decimals, when decimals are not expected in that field, and will cause the file to reject with COD.

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:

1. Navigate to Financial Aid > File Management > COD Full Participant > Generate Direct Loan Data > Direct Loan Outbound
2. Run the process with parameters Aid Year 2023 and new schema 5.0a.
3. Click on Process Monitor, then once completed click the link for DLOUT, then the link for the SFA_COD_OUT step.
4. Click link that says 'View Log/Trace', then click into the .xml or other data file in the file list.
5. Search in the file for <DIRECTLOANATTENDANCECOST>, and note the values contain decimals.
