Well, the problem is if you multiply .8251 by 610000, it is exactly 503311.

                I think it should be 503310. If you need 503311, use CEIL. I
have tested the
                thing on 6.12 NT, 7.0 NTS, 6.09e os/390, 8.0 os/390, and
none has reproduced
                your funny output.

                Kind regards,
