As others have pointed out, its a 64 bit string.

Looking at your "execute", I thought that

wmc> h_long = long(h_string+''x)
Ought to work, but it produces
wmc> print,h_long
-2556760
(I'd forgotten that its a 64-bit string)

However,
wmc> h_long = long64(h_string+''x)
Seems to work perfectly well
wmc> print,h_long
4398043954346
