Is this a compiler bug in Lotus Notes 6?05/28/2004 18:56

I came along a very strange problem with the Lotus Notes 6 compiler today. Just to save time I tried to use 1024 * 1024 instead of 1048576. The Lotus Notes Designer Client refused to save this with error "overflow". When using a variable containing 1024 instead of using the number itself there seems to be no problem. Weird!

Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim number As Double
Dim a As Double
a = 1024
' just to proof that Long is big enough
number = 1048576
'next line will work fine
number = a * 1024
' this would not work, why??
' number = 1024 * 1024
Print number
End Sub
