MOd and Div

rnb86 — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 05:07:06 GMT

Hi friends,

if ( ( n MOD 2 ) == 0 ).

when i say this in my syntax, it throws an error saying that mod is not supported. Can anybody tell me why. As far as i knw, it is the right syntax.

please correct me if im wrong.

Same is the error even for Div operator too.

im trying to display only even numbers in this particular program.

double == is not required

v_var = n mod 2.

if v_var eq 0

Hi ferrry,

thanx for your suggestion, but i trie with single "=" also, but i havnt got the output.

I got the answer to my question but what i need is that why the output is not displayed when i say n mod 2 = 0 is my query.

Hi Raghu,

we can not use mathematical computation in If expression.

you may calculate the vaue first and then can compare to zero.

e.g.

var2 = var1 mod 2.

If var2 = 0.

...

else

...

endif.

Hi Raghu,

When u say mod it means that the remainder is zero for e.g 4 MOD 2 = 0 ,

if this condidtion is satisfied then only the output is displayed.

Just Try out this.

report test.

parameter : p_n1 type i.

data : g_result type i.

compute g_result = p_n1 mod 2.

if g_result = 0.

write 'Remainder is zero'.

else.

write 'Remainder is not zero'.

endif

Thank you Pragya and Vaibhav.

<b>I did not knw that the mod and div operatoions can't be performed within the if condition</b>. Thank you Pragya for your answer.

And as for Vaibhav, thank you for your answer too. I know the logic and i already finished this report. But i wanted to knw why the mod was not working in the IF condition.

Thanks to you all, my doubt has been clarified.

Raghu.
