Hi, everyone.

Does anyone know about a feasible workaround for the longlong data type not supported in Powerserver?

Thank you all.

Re: LongLong in "pure PowerScript".

When |LongLong| = 16+ digits it will loose precision when cast into double. Instead, cast to decimal if needed.

Even though this was not the question, but to be complete: FYI on LongPtr type variables:

4 bytes in the 32-bit platform (same as "Long") and 8 bytes in the 64-bitplatform.

Hola Miguel,

I don't think there is any, except for the obvious replacement of the longlong variables everywhere with long or ULong variables.

I had to do this for our dw2xls.pbl (export to excel) and luckily it seemed to work. (LongPtr was another variable not supported).

If long / ulong variables aren't "big" enough, try "decimal ldec_mivariable {0}".

 

Sorry
