Divide

The *DIV built-in function specifies an arithmetic division of one field by another. You can specify the shipped field *Rounded to determine whether the result of the division is half-adjusted or not; CA 2E provides two conditions for this purpose.

There are four parameters for this function type:

• Three input parameters which are the dividend (*FACTOR1), the divisor (*FACTOR2), and the *Rounded field.
• One output parameter which is the *Result field containing the result of the division.

*FACTOR1, *FACTOR2, and the *Result field must all be numeric field types.

CA 2E implements the *DIV built-in function as an RPG DIV statement and as a COBOL DIVIDE statement.
