I need to use a double integar but I don't know how to declare it. When I try:

double integer m

I get a compiler error.

Do I need some special hash mark or the like to be associated with the variable m to indicate it is a double integer.

The DBPro help files are of no value here. Thanks.

You need:

m as double integer

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
Unless your name is Bob Ross, then you can do it in thirty minutes.

Sorry but : m as double integer
doesn't seem to do the trick. Run the code below and you will find that after 9 zeros (ie. 1000000000) the value of m is wrong. m is still acting like a single integer. Please help.

Thanks.

With that code you are shifting the digits along 100 times - double integer only holds up to (I think) 19 digits.



For the general maths and displaying, double integers seem to work fine

19 digets would be fine. My code shows that m only hold 10 digits before m is wrong! After index=9 m no longer increase by a factor of 10. Please help. Thanks.

Aha, it's actually 18 digits with this code, and the str$() function fails when converting a double integer
