I don't use that compiler but I  guess it's a bug of OBNC and you should contact the author.

The SET type is a special one and it's not enough to change the underlying type to support 64 bit values because there are also SET constants like {0, 1, 4 .. 7}. This means also the code generator should be adapted to support 64 bit SET (and it's a non trivial change).

If you switched to long type just for the SET type, it's better that you use a library (based on SET).
