The maximum value that Int64 can hold is 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. If you need a higher value, you can combine two fields together.

Override validateField() method if you want to reject certain values.

This below was the piece of code

public boolean validate()

{

int y,y1;

str x,p;

boolean ret;

ret = super();

y= strLen(a_String.text());

x = a_String.text();

p = strKeep(x,“1234567890”);

y1= strLen(p);

if(y1!=y)

{

throw error(“Please enter only numeric values”);

}

return ret;

}
