DIVIDE

Short Reference

Syntax

DIVIDE dobj1 BY dobj2.

Effect

This instruction has the same effect as the instruction

COMPUTE dobj1 = dobj1 / dobj2.

The content of dobj1 is divided by the content of dobj2 and the result is assigned to dobj1. The data objects dobj1 and dobj2 have to be numeric. You cannot use built-in functions or functional methods. The calculation type is determined like an arithmetic expression.

Note

Obsolete Form: DIVIDE-CORRESPONDING
