Its always nice to know there are more than one way to arrive at an answer
I went with MOD (now that I know the correct format)

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: In SQl, how do you determine if fielda divided by field b has any remainder?
case when (fielda / fieldb) * fieldb <> fielda
... but if you do this calculation, make sure that FieldA and FieldB are not defined as integer (at least one of them).
Otherwise you'll never get a remainder.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

else 'no remainder' end

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
Within SQL - how do you determine if fielda divided by fieldb has any remainder My google search came up with quite a few suggestions (REMAINDER, MOD) that are not available on the iSeries
