Make it a type string parameter and set the AsString property of the TParam.
Then, when it is transferring the value to the internal TIB_Column object it will be converted to the binary int64 value.

Jason,

I just updated one of my computers to the 4.3Aa version and noticed
that the TIBODataset.ParamByName() has been changed to return a
standard TParam. OK I can see that for TDataset compatibility.

Problem is we need to pass an In64 param to a query (lots of existing
code for this :( ).

>From reading over the existing notes about this it seems that

using .AsBCD is not a good option do to precision issues.

What is the recommended approach we should use now that the PBN has
been changed??

Thanks,

Allen.
