I am new to coldfusion. How can I set 32 digit number to variable and use for further calculation. I tried as

<cfscript>
randStart = 1;
randEnd=99999999999999999999999999999999;
ranValue = #randRange(randStart, randEnd, "SHA1PRNG")# ;
</cfscript>

But it throws an error as

Cannot convert the value 1.0E32 to an integer because it cannot fit inside an integer.

Please suggest.

Prak

"set 32 digit number to variable and use for ...." You can't use it with that function. It's too big for [RandRange()](https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-m-r/randrange.html). Per the documentation, randRange() only accepts integers: "*Integer numbers. If the numbers are not in the range -2,147,483,648 - 2,147,483,647, ColdFusion generates an error.*" – SOS Sep 06 '18 at 15:10
I would also take a look at whether you actually need a number that large? There are other implications to using very large numbers. – Shawn Sep 07 '18 at 16:50
