Hi ALL,


Thanks for your reply Dave.

OK

But I need to define an object of "Unsigned64" type with read-write access. I did not find any SYNTAX notation other than "Counter64" which serves this purpose. Kindly let me know if there is any other  standard SYNTAX notation which I can use to represent an object of unsigned 64-bit type with read-write access.

Thanks and Regards,
Lucky
