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.
Bill,
As Bill Downall has already answered, BIGNUM data type in R:BASE
Turbo V-8 and R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (64) should take care of your
specific circumstances.
I know you have both versions of R:BASE (V-8 and eXtreme 64), so
make sure to take advantage of it!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
