Rounding issue when a Value is read using GetPropertyByName ("") from a document.

When updating the Decimal length of particular primitive under documents using the document builder it works only until 6 decimal places.  Even if specify the decimal length to 8, it still rounds it off to 6 decimals. Below is an example:

Scenario 1 (This is correct)

Value in File: 0.6634306

Decimal length in document: 6

Resultant value returned by GetPropertyByName("<Name>") code: 0.663431

Scenario 2 (This is Wrong)

Value in File: 0.6634306

Decimal length in document: 7

Resultant value returned by GetPropertyByName("<Name>") code: 0.663431



The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Main Menu > PeopleTools > Documents > Document Builder
2. Update the Decimal length of the particular primitive under documents
