This is definitely the wrong place for these type of questions, but my
guess is that your compilers integer size is only 16-bits and even
though you're assigning to a long, the expression uses integer
arithmetic, so you should use some casting, e.g.
 ((unsigned long int)**sampleChar[0] << 16 & 0xFF0000L)

Good luck finding the CCE mailing list...
