Sorry, I still don't seem to understand that. Data between ecpg and the
backend is tranfered in ascii only. What exactly happens?

I see. I was under the impression that HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 should be
defined if long long int is 64 bit integer which of course it is on the
alpha.

I would think that this is the correct solution. After all there is a
#ifdef HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 in the backend as well.

Anyone else with more knowledge about HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 dare to comment?
