It's from the v5r4 RPG ILE reference manual, on the %Div BIF.

Subject: RPG overloading (was RPGV?)
Does %DIV's result count as overloading?
"If either operand is a packed, zoned, or binary numeric value, the
result is packed numeric. If either operand is an integer numeric
value,
the result is integer. Otherwise, the result is unsigned numeric.
Float
numeric operands are not allowed."
Thanks, Antonio. What are you quoting here? The V5R3 ILE Reference
Manual
says that %DIV returns "the integer portion of the quotient." So while
I
don't understand (nor quite believe) the reference, I don't think it
qualifies as a result-type overload.
