Is there a 10-digit limit to the message object? If I enter a number into a message that has 10, or fewer digits (e.g., 1234567890) it works fine. However if I enter 11 or more digits (e.g., 12345678901), it changes to a different negative number. In this example, (12345678901) changes to (-539222987). I don't see anything in the reference about a limit to the number of digits. Is this a bug?

i think it's related to the 32 or 64 bits integer limit. (i think 64 in 64 bits max ?) It's possible to make max understand your number as a symbol with hyphens " "

Yep, you are correct Vichug. It's a signed 32-bit limit. A value of 2147483647 works, but 2147483648 gets flipped to -2147483648. Thanks!

The range of 32-bit signed integers is from −2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. If you try to exceed one of those limits, the number will be wrapped around to the other end of the range.
