One presumes you mean the cumulative distribution function (cdf) ?
You have not provided enough clues for an answer (not enough for me,
anyway). Integrating would seem to be appropriate. Why do you think you
are "doing something wrong"? That provides no detail whatever, and one
cannot base a diagnosis on zero information.
