[fpc-pascal] For Loop with QWord

[James Richters]

I'm wondering why I can't have the following:
Var
  I: QWord;
Begin
  For I := 1 To N Do
     .
 
It generates an error:
Error: Ordinal expression expected
 
If I change it to LongInt, then it works, but the question is, why can't I
use a Qword here if I know I will never need I to be a negative number?
