                 Key: ODATA-341
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-341
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData ABNF Construction Rules
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Hubert Heijkers


According to the ABNF we need to append the capital 'L' character to an int64 integer whereas all the other integer types simply allow for more digits to be returned. Dear I ask why? We already allow for upscaling to a bigger type, why couldn't any integer number be just specified using its digits full well knowing that if more then 15 digits are required (and even with certain 15 digit numbers) an int64 number is required?
