            Bug ID: 131241
           Summary: Hex value gives negative long / single / double number
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: BASIC
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sng at hellug.gr

Description:
A hex value assigned to a long variable gives a negative number, instead of a
correct number.

LO 6.1.5 debian:  aLong = &HFFE0
                     (aLong = 65,504)

LO 6.4.1 manjaro: aLong = &HFFE0
                     (aLong = -32)


Steps to Reproduce:
Just run this and get an overflow error

Sub aLetterExample
        Dim aLetter As Long
        aLetter = &HFFE0
        msgbox chr(aLetter)
End Sub


This would work on both versions

Sub aLetterExampleFix
        Dim aLetter As Long
        aLetter = CLng("&HFFE0")
        msgbox chr(aLetter)
End Sub


Actual Results:
-32

Expected Results:
65504


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
assign 65504 tp variable
