  > Does anyone (are you listening IBM?) know what the biggest number will be
that will fit in an 8-byte binary field?

I'm not IBM but I know that the RPG definition for an 8 byte integer is 20I.
Based on the fact that all other I and U type definitions accurately map the
maximum - it has to be 20 digits - (2 ** 64) -1 if you want to calculate it.
