Normally, any integer in IDL is a short (two byte)
integer, including integers in loop expressions.
You need your loop variables to be LONG (four byte)
integers. You can set this up in one of two different ways.

The most common way is to force the loop expression
to be a long integer:

FOR j=0L, n DO Whatever

The second is to make ALL integers in your program
be long integers. You do this by putting a COMPILE_OPT
statement in your program module:

PRO JUNK
Compile_Opt defint32

Cheers,

David
