Jim,
Don't worry, at least some of us a humble enough to admit these things.

Well, now I feel like a complete idiot, I guess before I was just a half wit
<g>

I had tried 2 ^ I, but that didn't work, and I just plum forgot that some
languages
use ** instead of ^ for exponents.  I even went through my RPG manual and
looked
at the Eval statement, looked for a POWER or POW statement, etc..

There probably is a list of mathimatical symbols that the Eval statement
recognizes,
I just couldn't find it.

I modied my program and took out 15 lines of code, then looked at the DIV
operator
and discovered the MVR, and changed two lines of code to get my Mod 11.

Regards,

Jim Langston
