aCC error with unsigned int

[Ian Kitcher]

I cannot compile code used by Agilent ADS which has previously been compiled successfully on a PC. I'm hoping someone will recognise this type of error and let me know how to cure it.
Error message is:

Hi Ian,

I don't care if this compiled on your PC; this is bad syntax. The warning can be ingored but you a missing a type cast.

int_value = unsigned int(strtol(a_temp, &p, 0));
should be
int_value = (unsigned int)(strtol(a_temp, &p, 0));
