>DOES SOMEONE KNOW HOW TO DECLARE LONG_INTEGER IN ADA?
  type LONG_INTEGER is range -2**31 .. 2**31-1; -- or whatever
That might be appropriate, say, if you are doing something with
mathematical number theory.  If you are dealing with distances
or high voltage power lines then
  type meters is range -1_000_000 .. 1_000_000;
  type Volts is range -500_000 .. 500_000;
might be more appropriate names than 'Long_Integer'.
