[vwnc] DLLCC example - External Callback Example - sortExample method

In the DLLandCContectGuide (7.4, 7.6 and 7.7 sep09.3) in the first External Callback Example on page 103 (4-5), in the method sortExample, near the middle the comment says "create an Array of consequtive numbers that will be sorted.". Then there are the two lines of code:

    type := CIntegerType long.
    data := UninterpretedBytes newInFixedSpace: type * 50.

How does CIntegerType long * 50 work?

Any ideas on what should go here?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    -Steve

At first sight, it seems to me the code should read type dataSize * 50.
