BigInt To Integer conversion

[gauravrb]

Is BigInt to Integer implicit conversion possible?

I want to convert number BigInt(10) to Integer(10)

I tried using AsInteger Typecasting function but then to it was giving negative value in the output as it was earlier during implicit conversion.

Is it possible to conver as follows BigInt------>Decimal------->Integer?

What is the value that you are trying to convert?
If the value is beyond 2^16-1, the value might diverted to negative value.

The value that iam trying to convert is autogenerated 10 didgit BigInt number
i.e. 3000000000.

I tried converting it to decimal implicitly, it worked but when i tried assingning that decimal to integer it gave me fatal error "Transformer_10,0: Fatal Error: APT_Decimal::asInteger: the decimal value is out of range for the integer result."

Is there any other way to covert it into integer?

The largest permissible int32 (Integer) value is 2^31-1, or 2,147,483,647.

Your generated number (3,000,000,000) is larger than this, hence the error.

[gauravrb]

Yes that is right.

The number is greater than 3000000000

So i guess the target datatype must be changed or take some lesser values.

Oh yeah, I was referring to SmallInt that too with an error. SmallInt will be int16 and hence 2^15-1 (1 for sign).

Do you mean to say, should be changed to take some more values.
