Fwd: dimension size parameter error

Hi.
I realize that this is a problem with the "floor' command. Any suggestions?

Hi.
I am getting an error that says:
"fatal:New: the dimension size parameter is the wrong type an integer
value was expected"

when i have this syntax in my code
nvtimes = floor((ntimes-1)/8) ntimes = 487, nvtimes should equal "60"
print(nvtimes)
V925 = new((/nvtimes, 109, 139/),"float")

But when I just state an integer, I do not get an error.
nvtimes = 60
print(nvtimes)
V925 = new((/nvtimes, 109, 139/),"float")

Variable: nvtimes
Type: integer
Total Size: 4 bytes
            1 values
Number of Dimensions: 1
Dimensions and sizes: [1]
Coordinates:
(0) 60

How can I correct calling in the named dimension size parameter?
-Erik
