Re: to display large numbers

Hi Hongyan,

This value is out of range of a standard 32 bit integer, but the
current version of NCL supports 64 bit integers, which allows for very
large integers. You can create a 64 bit integer using a literal value
like this:

v = 200707280000q ; signed
or
v = 200707280000Q ; unsigned

You can also create an array of 64 bit integers using the 'new'
operator:

va = new(12, int64)

You should also be aware of the new type-conversion functions in NCL
5.2.0: toint64 and touint64. See the release notes for more info.
