Thanks for the hint, Zirneklitis !


"You can't use REAL field type for ID as it a bit approximately, e.g., 
number '1234567890123456789' will memorised as '1,23456789012347E+018'.
The INTEGER should be used instead. 
... "

Wasn't our/my idea to do so. The file was created by authorities and we had
to process it. 
Seems, that this works with the given definition in ArcGIS - however ESRI is
achieving that. 

Regards, Christine
