Thanks for your response. We're looking for integers that solve a certain math problem, and the solutions can get really big, like sixteen digits long. Interestingly, the program finds the pieces it needs to get a candidate number pretty quickly, but it goes haywire when it tests candidates that exceed 2^31. I was hoping it is possible to use a dim statement in Basic 256 to define an integer up to 2^63, but I suppose that's asking too much from a program language that's really meant to be a teaching...

I'm trying to adapt an application for Basic 256. It runs into a problem when one of its variables exceeds 2^31, which can happen. The original program defined this variable as double word, allowing integers up to 2^63. Is it possible to define an integer variable in Basic 256 to handle integers up to 2^63? (Don't suggest I install FreeBasic. I want this to work in Basic 256.)
