Pega BigDecimal

Pega’s Decimal type maps to a BigDecimal according to the documentation.  However, it does not use java.math.BigDecimal

It uses IBM’s implementation - com.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal

This part is not in the documentation.  You need to use the correct full name if you use a parameter of this type, otherwise it will give you a cryptic message that BigDecimal doesn’t match BigDecimal.
