[molpro-user] Using numerical grid and weights in an external program

Hi all,

I generated and saved a 3D grid in a molpro output file. The x,y,z
coordinates and weights (w_k) are printed for each atom.For evaluating the
atomic contribution to any molecular integral (say one-electron for now), I
use the formula:

I_k = sum(x,y,z) F(x,y,z) w_k(x,y,z) where k runs over all atomic indices.

If I then sum the atomic contributions, I should get the total number of
electrons. My question is:
Is there a missing factor involved in this formula?
I tried a simple test of evaluating the atomic contribution to the electron
ground state density where F stands for
F(x,y,z) = sum(AO1,AO2) AO1(x,y,z)* AO2(x,y,z) Denmat(AO1,AO2)
, and did not obtain the correct number of electrons.

Using the following molpro input for example, in a propane calculation
gives me
Density functional                    25.99999792     STEST=25.99999792.

I can see that molpro correctly obtains the total number of electrons.
Thanks for any help and suggestions,
