Due to the BigDec enhancement implemented in 8.1.8.0, a field in the Web Service Agent is not converted properly anymore when using this agent. To be specific, it is the field with underlying type "xs:decimal" in WSDL/XSD that is not converted properly.

Simple types referring to "xs:decimal" are now supported in the Web Services Agent, which may force you to update your APL code.

Variables that are assigned from Web Services "xs:decimal" variables must be changed from "double" to "bigdec".
