RE: Checking for an odd number

Not sure.  

I remember a few years ago, I put a program in debug and when it got to the 
line that the divide occur, it paused for may be half a second before move on 
the next line.  But, that was a few years ago.  May be it is no longer 
expensive.

Yes, no big deal for a few nanoseconds.  Problem is if this is a batch process 
that processing millons of record.

I'm not so sure it's that expensive when using integer fields as opposed
to packed or zoned...what's a couple of nanoseconds anyway??
