Just do it :) arr = intarr( 100000 )

You need to use longs instead of integers. The 10000 two lines above is
converted to a long, so this works. You just must be sure that you are
using longs, something like arr=intarr(2^16) doesn't work:
IDL> help, 2^16
<Expression> INT = 0
But it you make the 2 a long (by adding the L):
IDL> help, 2L^16
<Expression> LONG = 65536
This allows a maximum size of 2^32-1 bytes. If you need more, you have a
problem.
