modulus operation

Postby rajitha_nair01 » Thu Aug 15, 2013 6:16 pm

hi all,

i have a number:
lets say
1124568796981831928381768678756 which is being passed to a pic x(44)(max length that i can get as an input) variable.

this number needs to be gone through a mod operation for 97.

lets say i am dividing this number in 9,7,7,7

112456687 mod 97 = 28
appending 28 with next 7 289698183 mod 97 = 20
appneding 20 with next 7 201928381 mod 97 = 86
appending 86 with next 7 867686787 mod 97 = 59
now when i try 5956 mod 97 gives me a wring result since it appnds zeroes in the right and gives me an answer.

can anyone tell me how to remove the extra spaces when i get number less than 44 chanracter and take the mod of the remaining.

help me.

Please show the code that you are using. Leading zeros will not affect a calculation, but trailing zeros would, but I don't know what you coded to come up with trailing zeros.

i dont have a screen shot for the same... but yeah i coded in the same way like i hhave given above. there are trailing zeroes which i am getting. how are you appending the answer with next digits. i used the string operation which can be done only on x variable.

As my code shows, there are multiple ways to achieve what you want -- I did it with no STRING verbs at all.

since i am not able to run this code can you pls explain what are we doig here:

COMPUTE WS-DIVISOR = WS-RESULT * 10 ** WS-E-DIGITS +
WS-E-NUM.

???

Good, since you ought not to waste space with screen shots, but rather copy and paste from your emulator, enclosing the text so added in Code tags.
since i am not able to run this code can you pls explain what are we doig here:

COMPUTE WS-DIVISOR = WS-RESULT * 10 ** WS-E-DIGITS +
WS-E-NUM.

Note also the two previous lines from Mr. Sample's code:
COMPUTE WS-E-NUM = FUNCTION NUMVAL (WS-E) .
COMPUTE WS-E-DIGITS = FUNCTION LOG10 (WS-E-NUM) .

After validating the variable left from the prior (fourth) division, the number of digits in that result, less one, is gotten by the LOG10 function. The result of that division is multiplied by 10^(# of digits - 1) (effectively moving it left that many positions) and the remaining digits are added (i.e., appended).

Actually, I didn't have the time to figure out what the LOG10 function did -- I displayed WS-E-DIGITS because it appears to have rounded the value to 2 instead of leaving it 1 as I expected -- so I used the LOG10 value instead of adding 1 to it as I was expecting to do. As long as the 31st through 44th digits are not all zero, the code will process correctly.

Sorry, Akatsukami, to ruin your faith in me. :oops: Production problems got me in the office at 6, 5:30, and 6 the last three mornings -- and one of those I was not even supposed to work! I may be able to finish my investigation tomorrow but it may be next week.
