sorry, but the result of this multiplication will be stored in t; either a
giving phrase should be added or the operands exchanged! Also the syntax of
the conditions is not standardconforming; therefore the code should read:

...
perform varying t from 2 until t > number
multiply t by factorial
end-perform
