Subtract

The *SUB built-in function specifies an arithmetic subtraction on two operands, *FACTOR1 and *FACTOR2.

There are three parameters for this function type:

• Two input parameters which are the two operands, *FACTOR1 and *FACTOR2.
• One output parameter which is the *Result field containing the result of the subtraction.

All three parameters must be numeric field types.

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