where [ ] means “the integer portion of.”

This function has the following format:

$REMAINDER(m,DIV=n)

m

The dividend. This must be a numeric expression.

DIV=n

The divisor. This must be a numeric expression.

Examples

SET I = 100

    SET J = 2567
    SET K = $REMAINDER (J,DIV=I) : remainder is 67

SET I = 100

    SET J = ‑2567
    SET K = $REMAINDER (J,DIV=I) : remainder is ‑67
