check whether value in a field is odd or even

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I have some value in a field 'count'. I want to check if the value in that field is even or not. I need to put a IF loop saying that if the value in 'count' is even then execute the loop. How can I do this.

I appreciate the efficient method to check this. Thanks

Waiting.............

hi

try using the below logic..

data even type i.

even = count mod 2.

if even eq 0.

<execute your loop here>.

endif.

Cheers,

You can do something like this.

report zrich_0002 .


data: i type i value 48.
data: remainder type i.

remainder = i mod 2.
if remainder = 0.
  write:/ 'This is an even number'.
else.
  write:/ 'This is an odd number'.
endif.

Ooops, Abdul beat me to it.

Regards,
