3370.0. "Longer then 32 bits integer and counters?" by SWORD1::ES (Eugene Shvartsman) Thu Jul 16 1992 12:13

According to SRM the integer and counter data types allow the usual relational
and mathematical operations on them.

It is easy to deal with such data types, when they are not more then 32 bits
long. It is not so when they are longer then 32 bits.

The question is: is there a set of routines which allow to perform relational
and mathematical operations on such data types in portable fashion? If there is
no such set, is there the intention to implement it?

Thank you for your answers.

	As a pure hack, you could try using the time routines. -Matt.

	Thank for idea. To my pity there is no divide, which I need too. Gene

	The COBOL run time library on VMS has some 64 bit arithmatic routines as I recall... There should be lots of them when Alpha comes out :-)
