Looks like appian converts value to ∞ (infinite) if numeric digit &amp;gt; 10. Easiest way is to use varchar field in DB and store numeric value as text however would like to know if anyone faced this before</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Integer value greater then 10 digit</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/68502?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jul 2019 13:45:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:871fc8c9-7d52-40c4-8af3-5231ec4f394b</guid><dc:creator>davel001150</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Nope, Appian doesn&amp;#39;t support Long integers.&amp;nbsp; For now, you might be able to get by with a Decimal type, which is Double precision floating point number, which gives you 15 digits of precision.&amp;nbsp; You can represent every integer up to 9 quadrillion, or something like that, before you loose so much precision you can only represent every other integer&amp;nbsp;until the next power of two.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What you&amp;#39;d have to do is do some trickery with the front-end to not display the decimal point when there&amp;#39;s no decimal part.&amp;nbsp; You&amp;#39;ll need to use the fixed() function to start with in order to get all the digits, because Appian automagically truncates it to 7 digits for display, so you still wouldn&amp;#39;t get all 10 showing without demanding to see them using fixed().&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Incidentally, this is how JavaScript handles numbers.&amp;nbsp; They literally have only one numeric type, which is Double, and don&amp;#39;t show the decimal point unless they need to.&amp;nbsp; Then it&amp;#39;s almost like it&amp;#39;s an integer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
