I am changing some old code and there seems to be a difference in how the
divide statement works.
Looking at your code fragments, it would appear you are writing RPG IV.
Therefore you need to be mindful of the Precision Rules that RPG IV employs
for numeric expressions:

You may wish to employ the R-extender, e.g.
Eval(R) RATIO = (LSTQTR - (YEAR /4)) / (YEAR /4) ;
to ensure you maintain the precision you require.
Another option is to use the H-spec keyword,
EXPROPTS(*RESDECPOS)
to enforce the required precision for all numeric expressions in your
program.
