[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00029.] In this paper the author presents a new theory of integration, wide enough to encompass integration theory in the classical sense, the theory of generalized limits, and the summability of sequences, extending the well-known Paley-Wiener-Zygmund procedure [\textit{R. E. A. C. Paley}, \textit{N. Wiener} and \textit{A. Zygmund}, Math. Z. 37, 647-668 (1933; Zbl 0007.35402)]. The Paley-Wiener-Zygmund integral is so extended here to provide methods of integration with respect to set functions of infinite variation of various degrees of generality. The new integral is considered here as a continuous linear functional on a complete seminormed vector space of functions or, more generally, as a continuous linear map from such a space into a Banach space, following some leads already present in the literature [see also author's work: ``Integration structures'', (1988; Zbl 0704.46002) and \textit{N. Dunford} and \textit{J. T. Schwartz}: ``Linear operators. I. General theory'' (1958; Zbl 0084.104), Section IV.10]. Some remarkable properties of this kind of integral and some interesting examples are pointed out.
