Table 1: PowerBuilder Classic Issues
CR# Description
758374 Longptr type variable displays incorrectly after setting format in the original String function.

In PowerBuilder Classic 12.6, you cannot define the format for a Longptr type variable in the same line where you declare the variable.

Workaround: Declare the variable first, and then assign the value in a separate line. For example:
longptr ll_ptr
ll_ptr = 9223372036854775807
longptr ll_ptr2
ll_ptr2 = 9223372036854775808
