Weird Intergar Problem

matorin57 (14)
I am trying to count files by date, a new file being generated every 5 minutes.
I am using a long int becuase we are dealing with years possibly.

my function sets an long int to 0 and adds on files, however it is either negative or it is either much smaller than it is here is the function
