Calculation glitch?

["Steve Su" <s.su@qut.edu.au>]

Dear All,

 

I am using SPLUS Professional Edition Version 6.0.3 Release 2 for Microsoft Windows XP.

 

I found that if I do:

 

>1000000*1500000

# I get:

[1] NA

 

A workaround is to do:

 

>1000000.0*1500000.0

[1] 1.5e+012

 

Is there a way I can correct for the above bug without putting decimal places?

 

Thank you for your attention.

 

PS. No luck in getting SPLUS 6.1 in my university yet, as they are out of licence!

 

Steve.
