Nothing's wrong; according to the rules for integer arithmetic,
34000/340000 is 0, so it printed out exactly the correct result. If you
divided 34000.0/340000, then it should give you a 0.1. But you said that
you tried Float, and it didn't work? Perhaps you tried one of the
following:
PRINT,FLOAT(34000/340000)
PRINT,FORMAT="(F)",34000/340000
Neither of those would give you what you want. The division occurs
first, producing a 0, which is then converted to floating point. On the
other hand:
PRINT,FLOAT(34000)/340000
should do precisely what you want.
