This is probably a stupid question.
How do I make an 8 byte string for any of the new
64 bit data types if I want to store the string in an array?
For an old 4 byte "Long" -- now an "Integer", I would have
MKL$(longinteger), and would store the resulting
4 byte string in an array to consume less space in memory.
Now, I want to make an 8 byte ULONGINT so I can store only the
8 byte ascii string for each element of an array to save space in
memory.
I don't see any new MK? functions for the new data types in
the keywords reference, or from searching the forum. But,
I'm probably just not looking in the right place -- help?
