OK. I read up on it and I am glad I did. It isn't all what I thought it was. It is only useful for whole numbers and where a whole number answer is expected. If I want to divide $1.50 by 3 then I'd better use wNum = 1.5 / 3; It looks to me like %div is best suited where one is really after %rem. For instance, in a day-of-week calculation

Daggone, it is these silly questions where I learn best. Thank you Scott.

Yes, the %DIV BIF strips decimal places. (Returns an integer)

That's not the same as "can not divide decimals in free form RPG"!!

"%DIV(num6:100) is the easiest and clearest solution, because %DIV is

As I said, time for me to do some readin'.

Wait a second... are you saying one can not divide decimals in Free Form

silly question.

Guess its readin' time when I get home.
