Issue/Introduction

While using :FILL &ARRAY#[] = GET_PUBLISHED_VALUE the values get truncated after 1294

Run a script which has a count greater than 1294 to publish (example below )

:define &muchnumber#, string, 7000

:set &c# = 1

:while &c# < 1500

:  set &f# = MULT(&c#, 199999)

:  set &muchnumber#[&c#]=&f#

:  set &c# = add(&c# ,1)

:endwhile

 :PRINT +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

:PRINT muchnumber after while loop

:set &L# = LENGTH(&muchnumber#[], SIZE)

:PRINT muchnumber &L#

:PRINT +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 :publish &muchnumber#[]

The job would return U00020408 muchnumber 0000000000001499 post execution as we have set the count to 1500

Now if you try to fill an array with this output using the below script 

:fill &additionalnumbers#[] = get_published_value(&$runid#, "muchnumber#[]")

This returns 1294 and not 1499 - for lower values below 1294 - this returns the correct value as muchnumber#

U00020408 0000000000001294 = ARRAY SIZE
