Problem Note 65598: A large numeric value that is longer than 10 digits is converted incorrectly into a negative number
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS® Visual Investigator, you enter a value that is larger than 10 digits into a field that supports the Integer data type. The current parsing function, when validating the field, incorrectly converts this value into a negative number.
For example, you enter a value of 2234567890123456. The field displays a value of -514770240 after the parsing function completes.
The incorrect conversion occurs because of a known JavaScript issue.
A workaround is to use the Long data type field in order to store the value.
A fix for this issue is planned for a future software release.
