What You Can Do

You can perform arithmetic operations in your CA Culprit report.

How to Do It

For simple, one-step operations, code the following:

1. The numeric field being used as the operand
2. An operator that must have a space on either side
3. The work field that is to contain the results

   017010 YR-SALARY / 52  WK-SALARY
   

For complex (two or more operations) statements, code the following:

1. The word COMPUTE

   017010 COMPUTE (SALARY + 2000) X 0.10  BONUS
   

Arithmetic operations can be used

• Alone:

  017100 SALARY / 52  WK-SALARY
  

• As the result of a conditional statement when the condition is met:

  017010 IF SALARY LE 19000  100
  017020 ...
  017100 SALARY / 52  WK-SALARY
