I need to have a 32-bit bit variable and I need to assign the variable values
above the 32-bit signed limit (2,147,483,648).

Can anyone help me understand what type I want? I tried UInt32 but apparently
it is a structure and not just an unsigned 32-bit integer. Unfortunately I
can't use a long since it has to be 32 bits.

Thanks.

You can use a 'UInt32' for this purpose, but notice that you won't be
able to do calculations with variables of this type.
 
Hi DGR,

What exactly do you need to do? Any examples? or code that you'd <like> to
work, but doesn't? Or just a description.

Regards,
Fergus
