'''Long''' is an integer format that uses 32 bit for data. The highest bit is the sign, so the variable ranges from -2^31 (-2147483648) to 2^31-1 (2147483647).

However, in Oblivion, all longs are actually stored as [[Variable types: float|floats]], so they experience the same limitations as floats, and so cannot actually reach the ranges that a long should be able to reach (see the float article for more information).
