Are you saying that you do not know how to convert the
returned value to 
something that is usable when it is returned?

I noticed that some other types could not be created using
any other 
method... I think that Byte was one of them...

Yes I've had problems with 2.0.2 but after reading your msg
I repeated my 
tests and I've seen that the problem is not easily
reproducible.

Anyway This is the testing code:

	oUcb =
createUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess&q
uot;)
	oFile =
oUcb.OpenFileRead("file:///boot/vmlinuz")
	oFile.seek(createUnoValue("hyper", 5))
	print TypeName(oFile.getLength) ' Int64
	print oFile.Position

Ayway is intersting to notice that UNO hyper is mapped to an
"int64" in 
StarBasic.
If the int64 would be "declarable" I think we
coluld avoid the 
createUnoValue() function in order to pass hyper values to
API methods.

yes, this should be already fixed
