mmbtu=tons*:mmbtu_factor, /* factor is 8.54 supplied from another table

near the top of SP
     select      mmbtu*0.002
     from        paramfil
     into        mmbtu_factor,
tons are always <>0 by selection, so mmbtu cannot be 0

I come back to the same question - it works with the same data on 2.1 
but not 2.5
Thanks
