Hi,

My requirement is to check whether the input data is in multiples of another input field, if it so, then i need to set an indicatior to "YES", else it is "NO" .

Example: If input data (50) is in multiples of quantity field (5) , then i need to set indicator to yes.

Input DATA =50,
Quantity = 5
then Indicator to be set to YES.



Can someone help me with the logic to build this.

Hi,

You need to divide input data by quantity and check if the remainder is equal zero, then you set the indicator to YES.

where do You face problems
the logic or the code ???

If you put an 88 on the field you define for the remainder, you can make it much clearer. Indeed, unless requiring storing on a file, you could just use the 88 for your YES/NO in a "logical" sense.

If you are doing "a lot" (many millions) of these, then note that with some divisors you can tell by looking at the last 1-3 digits whether or not it is "exact".
