int(value) is an error unless the value is symbolic.
Perhaps the user wants
format bank
for 2 decimal places. Or perhaps the user wants fix() or floor() . Or perhaps round() with a particular number of decimal places.

Since it's likely the "fraction number" is stored as a symbolic object, try calling either the vpa function or the double function with your symbolic number as input.
