Check my sudoku solver

Hello,
I'm making a sudoku solver for a competition in my college.
Every sudoku puzzle is a 9x9 grid, and if every row is put the the right of the row above it then you actually get a 81 digit number.
So, what I have tried doing is starting from 1.0x10^80 till 9.9x10^80, every number is inspected for satisfying the given puzzle and then inspected to satisfy the conditions for a sudoku puzzle.
Since every solution to every sudoku puzzle has to be an 81 digit number distributed in 9 rows, we can thus get the solution.
Below is the code for my approach, please tell me why isn't it working
I think the typecasting from double to integer after the "proc:" mark, is creating problems but I'm not sure.

Please help me, I need to submit this project by Sunday evening, which is 24hrs.
Thank you for taking your time out to read this ...
