BIGINT Support - Teradata Preprocessor2

Beginning with PP2 9.2 and Teradata Database V2R6.2, there is increased byte support for integer operations. The limit has increased from 4 bytes (32 bits) to 8 bytes (64 bits). A 64-bit integer can be specified wherever integers are defined.

A TYPEDEF BIGINT statement is also output for those C systems that do not have a native datatype of BIGTYPE. For example:

typedef BIGINT long long;

In this example, the employee number field is specified as a larger binary integer:

struct employee
	{
			BIGINT			empnum;
			double			salary;
	}
