Thanks for all your answers. I didn't know this limit.
I finally found another way to go around this problem: luckily the 4 first
figures are always the same for all these numbers.
I created a new column with as.numeric(substr(df$BigNumber,5,18)).
Numbers are now 14-figures long and it is now ok.
Have a nice end of day,
Ptit Bleu.
