  • What causes this issue?

    The original value contains too many decimals, so the system attempted
    to convert the value to a smaller unit to keep all of the decimals.
    However, even the smallest unit does not allow enough decimal places to
    accommodate the decimals. If the value were converted, information would
    be lost.
    &V1& is the last result value, &V2& is the smallest unit that the system
    can convert into, and &V3& is not used.

    System Response

    The system cannot convert the value.
