LightWave Client: large scaled integer values are not serialized correctly

Summary

An issue exists with serialization of large scaled integer values from an IPM field to the JSON payload. The issue causes the serialization output field to be filled with asterisks ('*') when the length of the conversion output exceeds a certain width. This leads to the value appearing as asterisks in the JSON payload.
