Thanks all.  I took this solution as the simples workaround. I overriden
this method in my Pharo image:

SqNumberPasrser>>exponentLetters
   "current comment"
   ^'edqEDQ'


Now...a similar question is....is there a way to move Floats between Pharo
and GemStone with SIXX *without *loosing decimals (no rounded)?
Sixx in Pharo exports Floats doing #printString. So for example:

5645.0000000000000000000000000786786 printString
-> '5645.0'

I loose info. So what is the alternative?

Thanks,
