I am working on expanding s7pls module to support 64 bit integers and I have a question about EPICS types.
In the current device support, epicsTypes.h-->epicsType enumerator values are used for switching between different data types.

Simple example:

switch (priv->dtype)
{
   case epicsInt8T:
   case epicsUInt8T:
   case epicsInt16T:
   case epicsUInt16T:
   case epicsInt32T:
   case epicsUInt32T:
       break;
   default:
       errlogSevPrintf(errlogFatal,
           "s7plcInitRecordLongout %s: illegal data type\n",
           record->name);
       return S_db_badField;
}

But this enumerator does not have values for epicsInt64 and epicsUInt64 although both are in the epicsTypes.h-->epicsAny union
and are defined above in the same file:

typedef long long       epicsInt64;
typedef unsigned long long epicsUInt64;

Is epicsTypes the correct structure to use in this way? If not, what should I use?
Or do int64 types need to be added into the epicsType enumerator?

Thank you,
