intWhole number (primitive)
An integer is a whole number (eg 1, 2, 3, 4) rather than one with a decimal point (such as 1.1).
Integers in Murex are sized based on the bit (or word) size of the target CPU.
A 386, ARMv6 or other 32bit build of Murex would see the range of
from -2147483648 (negative) through 2147483647
(positive).
AMD64 or other 64bit built of Murex would see the range from
-9223372036854775808 (negative) through
9223372036854775807 (positive).
Unless you specifically know you only want whole numbers, it is recommended that you use the default numeric data-type:
num.
