I am guessing your problem has to do with the locale; try
[calc] 100 * 1,5 [/calc] and see if that works like you would normally
expect. Normally, Interchange should ignore locale in that situation, but
I don't pretend to understand all aspects of locales and how they can apply
in all situations. It is possible we are within the scope of a "use locale"
in some situations.
