As other suggested, COMPILE_OPT defint32 is the way to make the
default integer a long, but:

IDL> j = 0L
IDL> help, j * 100
<Expression> LONG = 0

IDL promotes the value of an expression to the type needed to hold the
precision all the operands. So here, because j is a long, the result
is a long.

As David suggested in the other thread, your issue here is probably
with graphics card memory.

j*100 is long for me? I'd just replace the () with [] when indicating
subscripts.

either use 100L, or add
compile_opt defint32, strictarr, strictarrsubs
to the start of each function or procedure. You can execute this
command on the command line to have the same effect on interactive
usage. Before you ask, no, there is no equivalent to get all floats to
be double precision numbers.

compile_opt defint32

but a more common statement is

compile_opt idl2

which forces [] brackets for array subscripts.
