I used the ZPublisher to convert a variable into a type float(see input field below). I passed the variable "balance" to a ZSQL method where balance was set as type=float. I keep getting an "invalid floating point type error" when i called the updateBal ZSQ method. I even tried to convert balance with _.float(balance) but still get the same error. The mysql db field for balance is set as type float. Can someone help me please?

The mapping may be wrong. A record exposes its content as attributes (although I am not sure whether you get it via "getitem", too).
