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;
}
