If you do...

  L& = 10 * 3600

The right hand side is evaluated, but the data type is just regular
integer, since these plain numeric constants are assumed to be integers.

When BASIC tries to store the result, it sees an overflow.

This should solve the problem...

  L& = 10& * 3600&

This is sort of like type casting in C  (ooh I said the "C" word :-)
