Please see above, where I told you. 

Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, or maybe I don't get some of
your contribution(s): I can't see it (neither above nor any place else).
Would you mind reposting your [other] interpretation ? Thanks.



I consider it a drawback of the decimals/2 predicate that it, when tested with SWI Prolog using default settings, fails to produce any result for all integers in the chosen range. 

Is the fact that you mention SWI-Prolog explicitly in your message
important ?
Is the "default settings" part important ?
Does the same drawback exist for the period/2 predicate - for a range of
smaller integers [hint: try the smallish number 100097] ?

Are we talking here about a space/time trade-off, an inherent complexity
issue, a limitation of SWI-Prolog (shared by any other Prolog systems
perhaps) ... ?
