I am afraid you want to work with integers like with numeric and you are pushing the limit of the VFP integer. The integer can hold up to 10 digits: 2,147,483,647

Z=0000000000000
CREATE CURSOR tt ( t l )
APPEND BLANK
SELECT z from tt INTO CURSOR t
MODIFY STRUCTURE
* it is 10 as expected.

Z=00000000000.00
>CREATE CURSOR tt ( t l )
>APPEND BLANK
>SELECT z from tt INTO CURSOR t
>MODIFY STRUCTURE

>expected: Width must be 14
>applies to Vfp 9, Vfp 7
