An integer X is equal to INT(X). 6.2.5: If the expected type is Integer for a function or operator, apply the “Conversion to Number” operation. Then, if the result is a Number but not an integer, apply the specific conversion from Number to integer specified by that particular function/operator. If the function or operator does not specify any particular conversion operation, then the conversion from a non-integer Number into an integer is implementation-defined. Since the description of POISSON does not specify any specific conversion from non-integer number to integer, the conversion would be implementation defined. Am I mistaken? Andreas --
