Thanks, to use numeric(18,0) for DECLARE EXTERNAL FUNCTION worked
fine.
But I don't know yet how to use it in Delphi, for writing an UDF. I'm
not talking about accessing interbase by IBO, IBX, etc. but I want to
write an UDF library like FreeUDF.

Can I declare in Delphi my UDF-function like

function MyUDF(var Value: Int64): Int64; cdecl; export;

Is the delphi Int64 the same as the Interbase Int64?

Thanks for any help!
