DIV giving weird results in SORT

Postby ROHIT5073 » Thu Jan 03, 2019 4:42 pm

Input is:

0200000 0000000 0131500 0019116
(1,7) (8,7) (15,7) (22,7)

Select all
//SYSIN    DD *                                                  
 SORT FIELDS=COPY                                                
 OUTREC FIELDS=((8,7,ZD,ADD,15,7,ZD,ADD,22,7,ZD),DIV,(1,7,ZD))


Is giving 0 result. Rather the result should be .75

SORT Gurus, Please help!

NO ! ...
it gives exactly what You asked for
DFSORT deals only with INTEGERS, You will have to deal with the decimal part Yourself

for two decimals

multiply the dividend by 100
divide
format the result
cheers

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort
