Cause
In PME, web report XML saved subscriptions started to include the comma to separate numbers for readability (eg 1,234.56). The XML import module views the result as a string rather than a number.

Resolution

Option 1
Create a batch file that executes the following script to save the XML to a new file without the comma. Replace the test.txt (original XML file) and testnew.txt (new XML file) to match the files names used in your system.

::-------begin code---------
@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in (test.txt) do call :process "%%a"
goto :eof

:process
set strData=%1
set strData=%strData:,=%
for /f "delims=" %%x in (%strData%) do echo %%x >> testnew.txt
::-------end code-----------

Option 2
Use a Find and Replace tool such as FNR.exe (attached to this KB) to replace the commas.
Command such as:
FNR.exe --cl --dir "Full Path Of XML File" --fileMask "Name of XML file" --excludeFileMask "*.dll, *.exe" --useRegEx --find "," --replace ""
Where "Full path of XML" is location where XML file is saved such as "C:\saved XML\My folder" and
"Name of XML file" is the name of the XML file to process such as "My XMLfile.xml"
