define your variable as

   integer(kind=8) :: intVar

To have a portable code, use the function selected_int_kind. In your case

   integer, parameter, k14 = selected_int_kind(14)
   integer(kind=k14) :: intVar

selected_int_kind(r) returns the kind value of the smallest integer type that can represent all values ranging from -10^r (exclusive) to 10^r (exclusive, that is why I used 14). For more details on selected_int_kind, See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/SELECTED_005fINT_005fKIND.html. Keep it mind that selected_int_kind might return -1, ff there is no integer kind that accommodates the chosen range.
