The REM function returns a numeric value that is the remainder of argument-1 divided by argument-2.
The type of this function is numeric.

Format

---

FUNCTION REM (argument-1 argument-2)

---

Arguments

1. argument-1 and argument-2 must be class "numeric".

2. The value of argument-2 must not be zero.

3. The value v of the quotient argument-1/argument-2 must lie in the range - 10³¹ < v < 10³¹

Returned values

1. The returned value is the remainder of argument-1 / argument-2. It is defined as the expression:

   argument-1 - (argument-2 * FUNCTION INTEGER-PART (argument-1 / argument-2))

2. The error default value is - 9’999’999’999’999’999’999’999’999’999’999.
