Area Parameter in imperial dimensions

I want to create a number parameter in which I want to enter a target area value. However, the value should not be entered in square metres but in square feet. How do I do this? Real number does not work.

There are no area parameters in GDL, so you would have to use a real number.

But for calculations you will have to convert square feet to square meters = SQR feet x 0.09290304
