<<> Of course, current HP language products don't support 64-bit integers Pascal/iX supports 64-bit integers ("longint").>> Thanks for the correction. After my previous posting, I remembered Table 3-3 in the TurboIMAGE manual. Sure enough, COBOL II and Pascal (and RPG, if that matters ;-) support 8-byte integers corresponding to IMAGE data types I4 and J4. C and FORTRAN do not. Dare we suggest to Randy and the Roseville gang that we need a 64-bit "long" in C/iX? Steve Dirickson WestWin Consulting (360) 598-6111 [log in to unmask]
