BigInteger Error with POWER(2,63)

GregorD

Hi,

i have a variable bigInt wit DataType "BigInteger".
This is my code:

bigInt := POWER(2,63);

I get the Error Message "There is a integer, that is too large" 9.223......

But When I write the following, i get the same number, but no Error...
MESSAGE(FORMAT(POWER(2,63)));

Why does my bigInt variable not work??

You get the error because it cannot assignt such a large numer in BigInt Type. Try using decimal. When you display a message, you don't get any error because you don't make an assignment, as in the first case, you just display a mesage.

2^63 is too large for a BigInteger. The range is -(2^63) to (2^63)-1.

There is, however, a known bug that applies a different range, when used in codeunits. You should be OK to uses the aforementioned range when it comes to tables.
