Pete:

Try this little piece of SCL

init:

list = makelist ();

rc = insertn (list, 123456789012345);
v = getitemn (list, 1);
put v=;

list = dellist(list);

return;
Compile and testaf
do you see
V=123456789012345
in the log or message window ?
I do, if you do also,
my guess that host platform rounding within the SCL list routines is not the
problem, but perhaps some internal aspect (e.g. a value being stored in an
int instead of a longint or a double or an overflowed type conversion) of
the org chart class.

Some more detail on how the value gets into the node could help track down a
fix.
