Hi,

I want to divide an amount field and store the remainder and quotient of the division operation next to the data. Please advise using DFSORT/ICETOOL.

Thanks,
Ramana.

DIV will give you the simple quotient.

For the remainder, look to calculate it from that (multiply quotient by divisor, then subtract from dividend).

You could look at MOD. Two things against it: whines of "I don't want the modulus, I want the remainder"; two divides are slow; whining about "but I'm only doing one divide" (there are always three things).

Why ask in the JCL forum and not in the DFSort forum?
