Need to calulate with a (10 dig) 6.000.569.885 number.

-SET &REPEadfTMEAMT = 100 + 1;
This gives me the correct result 101.

-SET &REPEadfTMEAMT = 6000569885 + 1;
This gives me some asterix(****).
SET COUNTWIDTH = ON does not seem to apply to amper variables..

Must be quite simple... but ... no clue ..atm.

thanks in advance for any idea.
Marcus

Try this :

-SET &REPEadfTMEAMT = 6000569885;

DEFINE FILE CAR
ORG_REPEadfTMEAMT /D11 = &REPEadfTMEAMT;
REPEadfTMEAMT /D11 = &REPEadfTMEAMT + 1;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT ORG_REPEadfTMEAMT
      REPEadfTMEAMT
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1;
END

Use DEFINE FUNCTIONS:
DEFINE FUNCTION ADD(operand/D20,addition/D20)
ADD/A20 =FTOA(operand+addition,'(D20c)','A20');
END
-RUN
-SET &REPEadfTMEAMT = ADD(6000569885, 1);
-TYPE &REPEadfTMEAMT

When arithmetic is requested, internally changed to double precision, so before it is perfomed, changed the results to alpha.
-SET &REPEadfTMEAMT1 = 6000569885; 
-SET &REPEadfTMEAMTA=FTOA((&REPEadfTMEAMT1+1),'(D10)','A13');
-TYPE &REPEadfTMEAMTA

If I remember my first year computer science correctly, they gave us an exercise where the object was to add a series of extremely long numbers - and the answer was to turn them into alpha just as is suggested here ... Smiler
