Re: Noob Data Type Question...
"signed longword scale 0" is really just a signed 32 bit integer. So the range is
-2147483648 to 2147483647
which covers all positive and negative 9 digit numbers.

Re: Noob Data Type Question...
As Mr. Gillings pointed out, the "signed longword scale 0" can handle positive and negative approximately 2-billion "decimal numbers", which is into the tenth digit. Hopefully, your referral to "9 digits" is also in Decimal-Radix, and not "Hex-Radix", which is the default-radix for a "longword". Most utilities and languages running on OVMS use decimal for the default radix, so you should be covered here.
But, if you need 9-digit precision for hexadecimal computations, then you will need to used quadwords. Hope this helps..
Thanx,

Re: Noob Data Type Question...
This number will not be used in any calculations it's an ID like an SSN.
It's just we're about to go over 999999.
I do appreciate your help.
