KIND(0) will be the appropriate KIND for default
(single precision) integer. (Though integer data is
not usually described as single and double precision.)

There may not be a standard way to generate a double
length integer variable.

what about using selected_int_kind?

$ cat int.f90
program int
implicit none
integer :: i
do i = 1,20
print *, i, selected_int_kind(i)
end do
end program int

This should show you what you need for a double length integer.
Here, it gives: 1,2,4, and 8. 4 is the one you get with a default
integer.
