APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: BIGINT datatypes are interpreted as INTEGERs while performing arithmetic operations. When values used for BIGINT cross the upper limit of INTEGER, they are automatically converted into negative number. eg. when the value goes above 2,147,483,647, which is the maximum INTEGER value, it is parsed as a negative number - 2,147,483,648 Problem conclusion BIGINT is handled as a string by setting a environment variable.
Local fix
Change Datatype to Double.
Problem summary
BIGINT DATATYPE IS TREATED AS INTEGER DATATYPE WHEN ARITHMETIC OPERATION IS PERFORMED FOR VALUES ABOVE INTEGER LIMIT BIGINT datatypes are interpreted as INTEGERs that have reached a limit are converted to negative numbers when incremented above a certain value. eg. when the value goes above 2,147,483,647, which is the maximum INTEGER value, it is parsed as a negative number - 2,147,483,648
Problem conclusion
By setting the env variable BIGINT_IS_STRING to TRUE we can store any Interger value bigger than 2^31 - 1 also.
Temporary fix
