How are decimal (number with decimal point) values expressed in a binary file?

[Costello, Roger L.]

Hello DFDL community,

Scenario: The book cost is: 19.95

The book data is in binary.

How is 19.95 expressed in binary?

How would the cost be expressed in a DFDL schema? Simply this:

<xs:element name="cost" type="decimal" />
