Hi Ritesh,
I think you are looking for the MOD operator (to obtain the remainder while performing division) equivalent in COBOL.
Please refer the DIVIDE ...... REMAINDER in COBOL.
DIVIDE A BY B GIVING C REMAINDER D.
Keep Learning.

Another example of why it is so vital to be very clear and precise (and use the correct terminology) in the questions posed on this forum -- so frequently there are multiple interpretations to what is asked and additional clarification is required to answer the actual question, not the understood question. |
