Where as some of the non-file operation codes can have an error indicator defined (CALL, IN etc.), I think DIV is the exception. In ye oldie days of RPG, prior to structured operation codes, the resulting indicators were used on arithmetic operations to signify that the result was <, > or = to zero.
