*Integer8 Data Type

The * Integer8 data type is similar to * Binary , with these exceptions:

  • The integer format allows the full range of binary values.
  • The number of decimal positions for an integer field is always zero.
  • Its length is defined in bytes, rather than digits.

  • Integer8 automatically specifies the length as an 8-byte integer.

The equivalent .NET data type is System.Int64 .

You can also use the other Integer data types to automatically set the length to a 2 or 4-byte integer.

  • Integer2 - sets the length to a 2-byte integer.

  • Integer4 - sets the length to an 4-byte integer.
