Determine your application needs and goals before changing
INTEGER data types to
INT64 data types in applications. Not all
INTEGER data types will necessarily require the additional bit size, nor will wholesale changes in data types necessarily work efficiently with other interfaces to ABL. For more information about determining when to use
INT64 versus
INTEGER, refer to the
Release 10 ABL Data Types Web paper available at the Web paper category of the PSDN Web site located at
