What is the problem with using BigNum datatype in V8.
BTW 64bit Integer is ?9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to
+9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (had to check WikiPedia)

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Large integer values in Rbase v8
I am trying to track some large numbers and planned to use an integer type.
The number can be 10 digits long but can not have any decimal values (all
whole numbers). It seems like an integer works ok for an 9 digit number but
does not work for a 10 digit number. I'm not sure how I can confirm this.
Should an integer handle a 10 digit number and if not, what is a better
option for a 9 digit number.
Thanks.
Bill
