Description

In the MWE file provided, when using the option math=fp everything is fine, but when using math=pfgmath in the log file, it appears 
´ ABD: EveryShipout initializing macros
./file.tex:10: Dimension too large.
<to be read again> 
                   =
l.10 ...olumn{scores}{Assignment 1}{\averagescore}
                                                  %
I can't work with sizes bigger than about 19 feet.
Continue and I'll use the largest value I can.
And if I also uncomment the next line (\DTLsdforkeys{scores}{Assignment 1}{\stdev}) it will appear one "2" in the output file.

Evaluation

This is a limitation of the pgfmath library not a bug in datatool, so unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it (other than add a note in the manual that there are different drawbacks to the available libraries).
