The numbers passed back for high and low should be unsigned 32-bit integers. At least that is how they are passed in the SOAP Response. You may have to do some casting in your client language of choice. Which client library are you using?

 

To be honest, this is the one regret I have with developing iControl way back when. I really wished I would have went with a string for the 64 bit native value. The reason why I went with a high and low 32-bit value was because Java at the time didn't support 64 bit numbers and since we had a lot of Java customers, we needed a high and low value. I should have added a 3rd value to the struct with the string representation of the number.
