Hi Siva,
It looks like the digits are exceeding the Decimal upper bound, so in this case you need to use BigDecimal to achieve your requirement.
In my activity Java step i had written the below code,
com.pega.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal bigDecimalValue = new com.pega.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal("123456789876543211234");
EndResult = PRNumberFormat.format(null, PRNumberFormat.DEFAULT_DECIMAL, true, null, 2, bigDecimalValue);
Here EndResult is the local parameter declared in activity Parameters tab.
Then the output of the EndResult parameter is 123,456,789,876,543,211,234.00
Note : If you dont want the 2 digit precision after decimal then pass the value 0 to PRNumberFormat.format method instead of 2. Fyi, you can explore the pxFormatNumber function for this method usage.
Hope this might help you in achieving your requirement.
Regards
Mahesh
