Use long,int,double for NUMBER??

I have a odesc() call in my program to find information about a column. However, if I am returned with a internal type of NUMBER, what do I allocate? An int, long, or double. What is everyone else doing when converting a internal NUMBER datatype to an external type?

Thanks in advance,
