OPEN "momentml.txt" FOR OUTPUT AS #2
strt = -INT(-1000000000# / 2011)
fin = INT(9999999999# / 2011)
FOR j = strt TO fin
  n = j * 2011
  ns$ = LTRIM$(STR$(n))
  good = 1
  FOR i = 1 TO 9
     IF INSTR(MID$(ns$, i + 1), MID$(ns$, i, 1)) THEN good = 0: EXIT FOR
  NEXT
  IF good THEN PRINT j, n: PRINT #2, j, n: ct = ct + 1
NEXT
PRINT ct

Finds there are 1610 pandigital multiples of 2011, starting with
