Thanks for the update Steven. I had gone through those article before.  Here I am using and update attribute which contains number for variables. 

update attribute with multiple attributesupdate attribute with multiple attributes

After this flow i am receiving the output as  GROSSDEPTH =1.0E-4  

So the question is execute script will work in this scenario? Please suggest.

@kumsath Yes, when i saw your post I started digging around too.  The issue here is number manipulation and type casting a "number" versus a "string". That easy gets complicated in attributes and with nifi expression language functions.   The solution i referenced would take the "number" and make a number in which the visual representation should then be correct.  Its worth a try since that execute script should be very easy to test.    The alternative is to do your "math" upstream or in an execute script processor not in updateattribute.
