If I understand your question correctly, you are asking how to change the number of decimal places when you display the MASS parameter. This is done by adding [.X] after the parameter when it is displayed where X is the desired number of decimal places. Internally, the value is always carried out to many more decimal places for calculation perposes.
E.G. &MASS[.4] will show the value with four places after the decimal.
I want to display the weight of a component on its associated drawing (to two decimal places). &MASS[.2] didn't work, but &PRO_MP_MASS[.2] works fine. This may be due to our front end data management system, but I haven't investigated this.
MASS would have to be a user defined parameter. It is possible that someone created this parameter as something other than a real number value (e.g. a STRING). If that is the case, the [.X] would not work.
If you write a relation to set MASS=pro_mp_mass, that should solve your problem.
